These were all written during my 3 year battle with Riverside county animal control and board of supervisors.  The public and media sided with me completely. For entire story, go to Media page and read PRESS ENTERPRISE   'The Story Behind'.

KINDA AND COMPASSIONATE
Upon reading about the Dalmatian Rescuer being fined for not having a kennel license, I believe that instead of fining this superior person Randy Warner $135, Court Commissioner Jim Bishop should have sent Mr. Warner a check for $135 to help him with the cost of the rescuing and taking care of those lucky dogs who find their way to Mr. Warner’s kind and compassionate care. Mr. Warner is doing what more of us should be doing – helping those who cannot help themselves, despite the cold and callous opposition of the magistrates.

WASTEFUL ANIMAL CONTROL
Why is animal control and now the county board of supervisors bothering Randy Warner.   They should take the estimated $40,000 they’ve spent so far attempting to convict, but only getting NOT GUILTY verdicts for Warner, and try to clean up their own facility.  The animals there are smelly and sick.  There are already too many unwanted animals in this county.  They should do something to make them more adoptable.
Over the past 3 years, my mom and dad have adopted 2 different Dalmatians from Randy.   They always looked happy and were able to play in the yard or go inside his house.   They have continued to admit that they have not actually been to Randy’s place, but take the ‘word’ of their officer.  They could certainly learn a lot from Randy.  I know we have.

WRONG APPROACH FOR RESCUER
It amazes me how time and again, a judge makes his or her decision based on zero logic.   We have a man among us, whose compassion and love for these unwanted and unloved Dalmatians, knows no bounds.  At least that anyone has seen yet.  Yes, he devotes 100% of his time to training and caing for these unbelievable numbers of Dalmatians, in hopes they will someday find the home that will keep them and love them as it should be. But, no he doesn’t have the money to construct the expensive and unmnecessary constraints and kennels required to satifsfy the county officials who are bound and determined to show they are right in this case, but have not been able to in over 3 years.
Shame on the bully commissioneers for punishing Mr. Warner for what he is doing.   Even the law agrees with him over the past few years.  They should present him with a plaque awarding him top honors for standing alone and fighting for the lives of these dogs.  My husband and 2 children and I took a ride over the weekend to drive past the place we’d heard so much about.    Not only did he invite us in, but the amount of love we experienced in these dogs who had just faced certain dedath, just floored us.  They were a mass of moving spots to us, but each one has a name and personality that Randy knows intimately.  He has obviously been victorious over these years because he’s doing things right.  Too bad the ignorant commissioners can’t see that.

MISSING THE POINT…
Taxpayers of Riverside County should be aware of the relentless pursuit of that dastardly villain, Randy Warner and his band of fugitive Dalmatians. 
Animal Control issues a new citation within 48 hours of each court appearance.  To get a kennel license, Randy must build kennels,estimated at $10,000 with no guarantee they would be approved by the county, plus a $6,000 land use permit – all money he does not have.
Mr. Warner saves thousands of taxpayer dollars rescuing animals that would be picked up, housed and ultimately destroyed.  Those saved dollars are then paid to attorneys to represent Aniimal Control ‘stooges’ in court against Mr. Warner.  The most recent attorney appeared on May 12.  Her purpose? To request Commission Bishop deny Mr. Warner’s right to plead not guilty

SAVING DALMATIANS I’m becoming more and more upset about reading of the endless persecution of Randy Warner in Riverside County who is rescuing Dalmatians.  There are so many laws on the books that are never enforced, so why in the world would the county supervisors continue the relentless efforts to try and obtain a conviction on Warners good deeds? (a conviction in this case could bring as much as a $100 fine;   an infraction) 
Not only lacking in common sense, but seemingly uninforcable by the county or Warner wouldn’t continue to be victorious in the courtroom for several years now.
Warner never gets a day off, not even Christmas or Easter, as these dogs must be fed and watered and cleaned up after 7 days a week without fail.  So, how in the world could Commissioner Bishop require a bail from this man, with no criminal record, who has sacrificed his pence, freedom and normality of life, in order to save all these innocent Dalmatians? 
This is becoming a farce for the ‘HILLBILLY MAFIA” or County supervisors to fight until they win.  It’s called the male ego.  In other words, the least likely person in the county to run away or become a flight risk!!  Money he does not have.
I’m sick of beaurocrats wasting my money in a futile attempt to enforce a law that most have never heard of, had nothing to do with making and agree it should be removed from the books.
Leave Randy Warner alone!!  Don’t fire him, don’t jail h im, don’t harass him.  He’s the closest thing we have to a saint here in Riverside County!

WARNER SHOULD  RUN THE COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL
My empathy to Mr. Randy Warner out in Riverside County (Open Forum Novermbeer 30 regarding Riverside County’s overpopulation of cats and dogs)  I; too had a letter just two months ago regarding the Riverside County Shelter. (I have great difficulty using the word shelter as it conjurs up the image of  comfort and safe keeping unfairly in this case.) But it is easier to sit back and just hope that someone else will step up to the plate to solve these and other problems.  Well , finally someone has!  The Riverside facility is under funded, underpaid, under educated and over worked.  They cannot even take in all the animals that come to them on a daily basis without killing so many innocent ones simply in anticipation of tomorrow’s load expectancy.   Instead of working against this man, they should bring him in and put him in charge.  Afterall, he’s doing (as just one man) what they are supposed to be doing BUT unable to do - and all the while, keeps winning court battles between the two entities.  Does no one else see this?

HELP SOMEBODY WHO CARES
I, too am upset and angry at the tax dollars wasted in Riverside County by self serving beaurocrats to pursue Randy Warner, rescuer of Dalmatians.
Just drive around anywhere and see a beautiful, but dead dog along side of a road.   So very many people no longer care about things like this.  We have one among us who does and he’s willing to prove it.  Let’s help someone who cares – enough for all of us!

DEFINING A HERO
Randy Warner and his Dalmatian Rescue continues to fight city hall. He continues to be cited and will once again appear in court in Riverside County while the taxpayers will be charged with paying the legal representation of the county board of supervisors just for their futile attempt to ‘’be right’’.  On August 24th, the board meets to change the kennel laws.  What is now an infraction becomes a misdemeanor.   What is now a maximum of $100 fine, will then become a $1,000 fine and carry a six month jail term if found guilty.  They admitted in an article from the Press Enterprise that this was another attempt to bring the importance of this issue to Randy Warner.  He is continuing to fight for the lives of these otherwise unwanted animals and has, up till now, been within the laws – until they change them to spite him.   A hero?  Any man who would go to these measures and stay within the law in spite of the circus atmosphere the county has brought upon this case, is truly nothing short of one.  He’s willing to give all he has for his beliefs.  Good for him.
