I cannot find a business license in TN under RKW Rescue and Transport, RKW Rescue or RKW Transport. She appears to be another unlicensed paid transporter! This is so wrong - not only are paid transporters required to have a business license but they are required to be registered w/the USDA and to follow all of the transport laws and the USDA regulations.
Karen's FB profile:
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL WARNING ISSUED BY THE PERSON WHO HAS INVESTIGATED KAREN, ALTHOUGH THERE MAY HAVE BEEN OTHERS AS WELL. I HAVE SPOKEN TO DESTINY AND HER INVESTIGATION WAS DONE WITH CARE AND DILIGENCE TO REPORTING ONLY THOSE CLAIMS THAT SHE COULD VERIFY. THERE IS NOT A PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE EVIDENCE AND PROOF IN THIS CASE. I KNOW THE REASONS WHY NOT BUT I WILL HAVE TO GET DESTINY'S PERMISSION TO ELABORATE ON THIS AND I AM NOT SURE THAT SHE WOULD WANT THAT INFO POSTED. HOWEVER, THE CONTENT OF HER WARNING IS STILL WORTH CONSIDERING. I WOULD HOPE THAT PEOPLE WOULD COME FORWARD AND BE WILLING TO PUBLICLY GO ON THE RECORD IF THEY CAN CONFIRM ANY OF THESE ALLEGATIONS. IF THEY DO NOT, THEN (EVEN IF THEY HAVE VALID REASONS NOT TO) THEY ARE STILL ULTIMATELY ALLOWING THIS WOMAN TO REMAIN UNCHECKED AND TO PUT ANIMALS IN DANGER - IF THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE TRUE. I WOULD ENCOURAGE THESE INDIVIDUALS, SHELTERS AND RESCUES TO GO ON THE RECORD AS IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT ANIMALS FROM THIS WOMAN IF SHE IS THE DANGER TO ANIMALS THAT THIS WARNING CLAIMS. COURAGE IS DOING THE RIGHT THING, IN SPITE OF FEAR OR UNCERTAINY. PLEASE LET COURAGE WIN OUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE ANIMALS!
Good morning All,
There is a woman, using the names of Karen Strickland, Karen Symons, Or Karen Symons-Strickland that is doing transport for animals. Her facebook page has her set up as as the owner of rescue and transport company. SHE IS A SCAM! SHE IS ABUSIVE AND NEGLECTFUL TOWARD THE ANIMALS! She has willingly admitted that she drugs animals she transports as to not have to deal with them needing to relieve themselves, she also provides no food or water to them for the same reasons. The crates she uses are too small, to prevent the animal from being able to sit/stand up in order, again, to prevent the chance of a mess being less likely. She has been seen hitting them b/c they were whining, puppies and dogs alike, being smacked in the face and told to shut up! One crated dog was stuck in the crate from Tues-Thursday while she was on the road for transport, upon arrival his adopter was mortified to see him covered in his own urine and what little fecal matter he was able to relive himself of in spite of the drugs she had given him! She has agreed to transport dogs that people to this day still have no idea where their dogs or their money went to! One shelter put them on their DNA/F/T LIST after she harrassed an adopter in a wheel chair saying that she wasnt going to give them their dog b/c they obviously could not care for it!!! Another placed her on their list when, two of the puppies she was transporting for them did not make it to them. When asked where they were she replied she had adopted them out along the way!!!!!!!!! My experience with her ended fortunately enough with the dog being returned safely and seemingly unharmed, but there was a span of about 12hrs where nobody could reach her and we did not know where the dog was at! Thankfully he was returned to the kennels and is waiting for reliable and safe transport. I dont know how she has been able to continue this for so long but she has got to be stopped!!!!! These animals depend on us!!!! This makes me ill, to think of those poor animals, and what most have already been through, to be entrusted to someone that will treat them so horribly!!! :(
PLEASE HELP ME STOP HER!! THIS CANNOT BE TOLERATED, OR ALLOWED TO CONTINUE!
Thanks for your time ~ Destiny
