DMX's Dogs: Buried Bodies Had Serious Wounds

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

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

The investigation stems from an Aug. 24 raid of DMX's Phoenix home, when police were probing allegations of animal neglect. Police seized 12 live pit bulls, numerous weapons, and about a quarter-ounce of marijuana from the property.



"We have 12 dogs who were abused and three dogs buried in the yard," Arpaio said, "someone's going to have to pay."

DMX's lawyer, Murray Richman, said: "How do you attribute activities to a person who has not been there, when they have knowledge that other persons have been. Is it because of the celebrity nature?"

No charges have yet been filed against the 36-year-old rapper.

196. ...........#196.............I typed the wrong date.........Bull Baiting was abolished in 1835, in Europe, not 1860 and dog fighting became popular although illegal.........even that far back, Dog fighting was illegal............how long before the Majority of society deems it WRONG, and unacceptable?.....and don't say, "It's been going on for a long time and probably will for a long time to come"...................With the speed of information today compared to 1835..............things can happen much faster................

197. Thats why these dogs were made. Fighting is in their blood its just people that dont understand the gameness and eagerness of these dogs to fight. Just like some dogs like to lay around do nothing or swim these dogs like to fight. SO if u dont like to hear or read about it then dont look it up.
