But We thought the DA Led the Raid?

WHO Led The Raid On Wilma Jones?

There seems to be some more confusion, even among ARC volunteers, about just who led that raid on Mrs. Jones. Although there are people who have commented here on this site that the Warren County District Attorney led the raid on Mrs. Jones, here is Heather Davis, who calls herself an "ARC Volunteer Shelter Manager" claiming that ARC led the raid:

Animal Rescue Corps led this rescue... thanks to them for saving
these dogs... they have truly given them a new opportunity at life
and love for the first time and we are grateful for all of their
efforts. Thanks also to the rescue partners and sponsors who made
this possible... learn more about them here: http://
www.animalrescuecorps.org/thank-you-to-all-animal-rescue-corps’-
partners-volunteers-supporters-and-contributors/

That's from yet another Facebook page for the dogs. Sorry, I've gotten confused about who this one is for. I think it's for people who have adopted or fostered them.

Of course, Heather is also the publisher of Nashville Paw Magazine. Do you think it's any coincidence that ARC reached out to the media in Nashville when they decided to steal, er, "rescue" dogs? Afterall, what better credentials could someone have for being a shelter manager than publishing a magazine? Perhaps that's a little cynical, but it seems likely that ARC pays more than a little attention to the media, don't you think? And wasn't it awfully nice of those actors from CATS to come out and help raise money for the poor widdle doggies when they were in town? I bet that made people dig a little deeper in the pockets to donate.

And, in case you were wondering, ARC now has a "TN State Liaison" too. Woohoo! That would be Peg Petrelli, the person who coordinated with Kim Chambliss to gather evidence for three weeks against poor Mrs. Jones. So, we wonder what Peg Petrelli will be doing in Tennessee now that Mrs. Jones has given up her dogs? Maybe she will be cruising around looking for other elderly ladies with dogs. Better hide your pets, people.

We are still waiting to hear about any charges against Mrs. Jones....

Whitewashing in McMinnville

If you check the Facebook page for the Warren County humane society of McMinnville TN now you will rather amazingly find it full of good works and pictures of dogs and kitties up for adoption. There's not a word about Mrs. Wilma Jones, not even on the day of the ARC raid in March. Good job people! I know you had to work really hard to remove all the bile you had spilled about wishing Mrs. Jones in hell and plotting to call in phony animal abuse charges on her, along with sending more people to spy on her and her pet dogs. Too bad I have screen shots of your original messages with your names. Screen shots which I will post if Mrs. Jones has trouble from you so everyone will know how you plotted and planned against her.

It's not that easy to get rid of things you post on the Internet.

You can also find some of the same people posting some of the same things on the Facebook page Stop Animal Abuse at Warren County TN Animal Control. I guess they have a problem with Warren County Animal Control, too. Not only that, but if you will read further on this site, you can find out more about the Great Danes that were said to have "escaped" from their owner's property (yeah, sure), and then somehow got lost again from the people who took them. Either the dogs in Warren County are really clever, or there are some very incompetent people there. Yep, it's those same vigilantes in Warren County. You can read all about their contempt for fourth amendment rights which prohibit illegal search and seizure, or in this case out and out theft of dogs. Did the owners of the dogs ever read this site, ladies? Did they know how and where you planned on taking the dogs so you wouldn't have to return them as the judged ordered you to do? Don't bother scrubbing the site. I have screen shots of this one, too.

Here's a tip: if you are going to plan to do things that are illegal, it's probably not a good idea to post them on the Internet. Did you really hire attorneys to represent the Warren County humane society, and then you posted stuff like this online? Geesh, that's not very smart. If you do remove these posts from the site, I will be more than happy to supply the screen shots to the dogs' owners in case they sue you, which they should probably do.

These are the same people who "gathered evidence" against Wilma Jones. These are the people who brought ARC to Warren County. As you can see, their credibility is somewhat lacking, so maybe it's not surprising that no charges have been filed against Mrs. Jones.

Now, you may think I am picking on Warren County, and I am, just a bit, because they have been over-the-top in their condemnation of Wilma Jones; plus they have been playing pretty fast and loose by taking dogs from people (we called that "stealing" when I was growing up). But I think what's happening in Warren County is a fairly good example of things that have been happening in a lot of places throughout the country in the last several years. That is, in the name of "rescuing" animals, human beings are being tossed aside. The basic rights that we enjoy as Americans are being ignored, discarded, overlooked, and minimized. Fourth amendment? What's that? Who cares? Illegal seizure? What? People have to actually be charged with a crime before you can seize their property? Oh, and yes, animals definitely ARE property. Make no mistake about that. They need to be cared for and treated right, but they are property. And you can't just go to someone's house and take their property without a legal reason to do so. And, oh yeah, you have to actually be an authorized, legal person to take property (animals). So, you, Warren County humane society, and other do-good rescuers, can't just take it upon yourselves to take somebody's dog out of their yard! We have due process in this country and you are supposed to follow it, even when animals are involved. The rest of this circus recently, with ARC, the $100,000 seizure bond which is ridiculous, and people who care more about animals than people, are all part of the same story.

So, you can try to remove all of the low, nasty comments you like, Warren County humane society, but I think people have gotten a good look at you and they see what you do. You may think you are saving animals, but you are treating people like dirt. Start playing by the rules or it's going to come back and bite you.
