DMX Is In The Doghouse

Rapper DMX was arrested this past week on seven misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty and four felony drug possession charges. The police raid turned up weapons, drugs, dog carcasses and abused pitbulls. Authorities had been investigating DMX for the last seven months amidst complaints of animal abuse. In a previous raid of his home in August of 2007, police found 12 distressed and three dead animals partially buried on the property with bite and burn marks covering their bodies.

The pitbull mix puppies that were taken from his property this past Friday (May 9, 2008) were placed at an Arizona jail where they will be cared for by female inmates. We’re hoping he gets the maximum sentence. This is like the Michael Vick dog fighting scandal all over again. When are people going to learn that abusing animals doesn’t make you tough, cool or anything other than totally wack?
