HOW NOT TO TREAT YOUR DOGS

This is one of 12 pit bulls rescued from DMX’s Phoenix home

While most of us were maxing and relaxing over the weekend, police were busy digging up dead dogs on rapper DMX’s property.

Two dogs found buried at a home belonging to rapper DMX had serious wounds, authorities investigating animal neglect allegations said Saturday.

One of the dogs had serious bite wounds and another had trauma to its abdomen, but exact causes of death were not determined, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said. A third dog carcass had been burned so badly an exam was inconclusive.

I’m absolutely against capital punishment, but it’s times like these that make me re-evaluate my position on the matter.

    fuck DMX.
    Fuck ANYONE who would do that to a dog, or allow it to happen.
    Didn’t know it was going on? It’s YOUR FUCKING PROPERTY you piece of shit. Know what’s happening in (one of) your own home(s).

    Dogs are considered “property” under the law and that’s what has to change. People have to get real penalties for doing this to animals…I’m not going a “PETA” or anything but maybe its time I did. Dogs are like familly members at our house and you do this to a dog, I will treat you like you did this to my child. Obviously, he knew this was going on and it sounds like he was also into dog fighting with those kinds of wounds. It’s time for people to pay for treating thier pets like this.

    nice! No, it’s just that he always talks trash about other people in the music industry. I don’t think anyone should do that.

    capital punishment?! Oh com’on!! It’s just a dog. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think people should be cruel to animals, but they definitely shouldn’t be given life sentences for it either. No one really cares when deer, bears and other animals are hunted and killed…so why the big fuss over Fido?! Get over it people, it happens…

    because those animals aren’t tortured, forced to live in vile conditions, and left to rot.
    They’re not burned as punishment, and beaten to bring out the ‘meanness’ in them.

    You’re a fucking moron.

    As humans we have a duty to protect animals. Do I think someone who kills or tortures a dog should get the same sentence as someone who kills or tortures people? No. But I do think they should face some jail time and some stiff fines.

    People who torture/kill animals for pleasure generally speaking are prone to doing the same to humans.

    Waste of flesh. Remove him from the gene pool and keep going.

    What a worthless piece of trash, I don’t care how big and tough he is, if I saw him I’d grab his nuts and twist them right off and shove them down his ignorant throat.

    i’m absolutely 100% sure people who able to do such cruel things to the animals could do the same to the other humans.

    Just a dog??? If a person can do this to a dog, what would he do to another human being if he had the opportunity? The more I’m with my dogs the more I love them. They ask nothing more of you except the love, nourishment and a place to run and play and they give back more than we ever deserve.

    People who mistreat children and animals are the lowest form of scum on Earth, they prey on the defenseless and they deserve no mercy.

    I think a heard some people were defending this dog fighting as a “Black culture issue” —what a load of bull shit that is. In the USA mistreating dogs is going to get you into a world of trouble no matter how you try to spin it……

    The cultural defence is ridiculous. As Larry Wilmore pointed out on The Daily Show, you could also defend slavery using that “logic.”

    I hope DMX and Michael Vick both do some hard time.

    “black culture issue” = Black uneducated fuckers …

    I’m sure the majority of the african american community would agree that this is dispicable.

    Dont worry because he will get his from the sheriff. Joe Arpaio is crazy as hell and does not play. If Paris Hilton lived here in Maricopa county she would still be in jail.

    Oh great, another careless dog owner. But why am I not suprised with a rapper who tries to look hard core so he has to have pit bulls to look harder than he really is.
    I hope DMX gets as much attention with the media as Michael Vick has, both deserve bad punishment for this.

    I can’t understand how this happens. I’m sure he’s had visitors and family see how these dogs have been treated for years and never said anything. I wish there were more whistleblowers when it comes to animal cruelty, because these animals can’t escape situations like this. Its so sad and I hope that the courts get more harsh, not only because these people deserve it but also to teach others a lesson.

    Anybody, regardless of race or their social standing, that can do this to an animal deserves to be treated in the same way. It’s absolutely heartless to treat animals in the way he has and I hope he pays big time for what he has done and suffer some of the same pain that they did. My heart goes out to these dogs and I hope that somebody will step up and show them the love that they deserve. Animal cruelty makes me sick to my stomach.
