Brit's Dog Injured; SPCA Investigates

TMZ has learned that officials from the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were at Britney's house today to investigate why her dog was wearing a cast. We're country y'all!

Madeline Bernstein, President of SPCA - L.A., told TMZ tonight, "We have received various sources of complaints throughout the day. Some said that Britney's Yorkie dog was injured and had a cast on, and some said the dog had a broken leg and was not treated.

After the calls started pouring in, we did go to Britney's house today [on Mulholland Drive] but were just able to leave a note with the housekeeper. The matter is not if the dog had an accident, but if the dog is getting proper care."

Madeline also told us they haven't heard back from Miss Spears. "Britney is out of town," Bernstein tells us, "but we hope to have an answer soon and get the matter resolved pretty quickly."

17. If I were Britney, I would most definitely put my home up for sale and move out of California. Or better yet-move out of the United States. You will never find any peace here.

19. I heard that she put the dog in an enclosed area with the two boys and they played with it in a manner that most kids their age (in other words, not responsibly) would. They probably handled it like they would one of their toys not realizing that this is a living thing. It's not the boys fault but definitely Brits since she should have know better!

20. I can't stand Brit Brit - but the dog could have easily been hurt by her little guys. Dogs that small shouldn't be around preschoolers except under adult supervision. She probably loves the dog very much - I doubt she would intentionally hurt it.

21. First of all, that bitch was there. Trust. She is not woman enough to haul her ass out of bed at 4:00 in the afternoon to face the authorities regarding her dog.

I am impressed that the ASPCA would investigate this matter so quickly, but concerned that a time delay is certain death for a pet in distress.

Britney Spears is Micheal Vick to me now.

22. No the paps and media and the public are so obsessed with her that she can't even have a minorly injured dog without the entire world knowing about it, and people calling the SPCA on her.

She's complete cheese but now I even feel sorry her.

Then again I feel sorry everyone, including myself.

23. I'm with #2 How do people know her dog is injured and needs care? It sounds like an organised conspiracy. Now I'm not saying I think Brit is responsible or anything but these complaints sound suspicious

26. The dog had a cast. That meant it was taken care of. She isnt in town. You people are idiots to waste the resources of the spca when aholes like Vicks are torturing animals. Ordinary people like the neighbors next door leave their animals in the hot summer sun in vehicles. Other trash leave them tied up outside with no water or food and "forget" them. If the paps need to call in their own reports of animal abuse like this (you know they did just to get a story) they are desperately trying to break this woman.
Yeah where was the OUTRAGE when Katie almost dropped suri? Why none? Cause there shouldnt be!!! Most of this crap is a normal everyday accident or issue that millions of people deal with. So she parties..... So does that slimeball ex..... She has stated it is when the kids are not with her....... They have JOINT custody. AND BY THE WAY..... WHO CARES???????? Get off your damn computer go hug your own damn kids and watch them some more. Make sure you own kids stay off the pole and off the pipe and dont worry about what some woman in California who by the way you do not even know does. That situation will take care of itself. Stop hounding her, stop creating crap outta nothing, stop living vicariously through someone elses created misery. You people are pathetic. Holier than thou, do as I say not as I do. Leave those people alone! Nothing they do affect you why is it news???????? Why isnt it news about the murder, violent crimes, attacks overseas, children being killed every day on the front page? Go lose yourself in rolling in the crap that is better known as let's laugh at another star who has fallen. Lets feel better about our own indifference to the world around us by piously commenting on Britney Spears. How about you go volunteer at a hospice? Sing to or read to or hold the hand of a dying person? How about you recyle instead of dumping your damn empty milk cartons in the trash? How about you let someone merge in traffic ahead of you? How about you aholes get a life..................THEN thats making a difference..... Pathetic. Creeps. Voyeurs.

27. If I have to keep reading this crapola, I will move out of this country.

Yes, I do not HAVE to read this stuff but it is all over the media and almost impossible to ignore.

28. I wish people would just leave poor Brit alone and let her deal with the issues at hand. I have no doubt that the media has played in a big role in her breakdown. Being under a microscope like this, well it's not a good environment for anybody.

And I agree; clearly if the dog had a cast, it was taken care of. People are just looking for any excuse to break the poor girl down.

29. They love to see the headlines of the famous fallen but dang it you never hear a peep if its about their uncle lou or auntie pearl. No no no Auntie pearl didnt starve her kids or standby when her new hubby abused the step kids. No no no Uncle Lou didnt get a dui and kill an innocent family of 4. Hell no it aint in our family or neighborhood. Lets go make fun of hollyweird and feel better than them.
I agree we should look more at our own lives and those around us and make a difference instead of speculating about people we dont even know except in pictures shown to us to make a story up.

30. Uhm, what the hell - this is obviously a BS story.
