12 pit bulls rescued from DMX's house

CherryDarling · August 24th, 2007, 06:53 PM

KPNX television in Phoenix is reporting that the Maricopa County, Ariz. Sheriff's Department raided rapper DMX's home this morning in Cave Creek and removed 12 distressed pit bulls.

DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was not home at the time. News 12 is reporting a large cache of weapons was found in the home as well.

DMX has a long rap sheet (pun intended), which includes a guilty plea to animal cruelty charges in 2002.

UPDATE: According to DMX's attorney Murray Richman, it was all about the blazing Arizona heat. Richman claims that someone reported the dogs were at risk because of the extreme temperatures, telling TMZ "Earl has a caretaker, who obviously wasn't taking care. Earl loves those dogs." Richman added that DMX isn't even in Az and hasn't been there for several months because he's off working on a project.

I'm just waiting for that dumbass Jamie Foxx to play the race card and defend this moron too ...

Oh ok....the heat. Gee, I guess that's a good excuse. Now...why does he have 12 pitt bulls?

And why were they out in the heat w/no one to watch them!??!?!?!

Animal cruelty makes my blood boil.

Another asshole. If his dogs meant so much to them, he would have a nice, air conditioned place for them.

I don't get what's going on. There was an NBA player in Sacramento maybe, that was charged with animal cruelty several months ago. His dog was starving!

ETA - So, at DMX's house, three of the dogs were dead and buried. They were dug up. One had been burned and the other two were decomposed and they couldn't tell the cause of death. Another POS.

If he loves his dogs why hasn't he found a better caretaker. It's called air conditioning asshole, dogs enjoy it too. Ask the big hairball who is sitting in front of the vent in my lobby right now.

This really pisses me off! There need to be stricter animal abuse/neglect laws.

nycgirl · August 24th, 2007, 09:06 PM

some people shouldn't be allowed to have pets or procreate

the end.

WTF is wrong with people? I don't understand this dog fighting culture. It's sick. BTW, I own three dogs; two are rescue greyhounds.

At first I thought you were referring to your husband as the "big hairball". I love to see people who love and take of their pets. Who the hell has 12 pitbulls unless he's breeding. If he's breeding he would have taken better care so he could get good money for them. Sick just sick

I am wanting to think he's been arrested for domestic violence too, bu don't know if he was actually charged.

Sorry should add, that was for aries

Thanks, Corsair. That's who I was thinking of.

Calm down guys. As Jamie Fox would say, DMX wasn't given the handbook on what not to do as a black star!

All joking aside. It's good to see that the 12 dogs (12 DOGS!) were taken away for treatment.
