PETA to DMX -- We Hope they Ruff You Up

DMXRapper DMX aka Earl Simmons won't be looking to PETA for support when he faces felony drug possession and animal cruelty charges in Arizona.

The animal rights group has written prosecutors, asking the judge to throw the book at Mr. X, urging that the sentence include a psych evaluation.

Authorities say DMX had 12 pit bulls, all of which showed clear signs of neglect. They also found three dead dogs, buried on his property back in 2007.

This is his second run-in with authorities on animal cruelty charges.

PETA is wants the judge to make D's world a pet-free zone for as long as possible.

16. DMX hurt dogs before, then he moves to AZ and does it again. They found dead dogs in garbage bags

This garbage needs to get put away forever. And I wish they would make the laws stronger so we can bust them BEFORE the dogs die!

19. To Sickening: Hey moron, let's say you are right and OJ killed Nicole and Kobe raped a white woman and both got off. How many thousands of people get convicted each year for crimes against each other and how many thousands get off for animal abuse. You have 2 cases of perceived injustice so should we just let animal abusers go free because 2 people got off for crimes against white women? And what makes you absolutely certain OJ and Kobe ARE guilty. Just asking.

21. To 'HA HA HA 21:' Grammar & punctuation are your friends! Use them if you expect people to take you seriously. That's "real talk."

Anyone that abuses an animal (or a child) should be locked away for a long time. He's proven that he can't behave himself and he doesn't deserve another chance out in the free world.

DO NOT PASS GO! DO NOT COLLECT $200!

24. I agree with the poster who says that PETA cries wolf so much they are no longer taken seriously.

I used to belong to PETA. If you are a vegetarian...not good enough...you NEED to be a strict vegan. If you own leather shoes...you MONSTER, throw them out and buy all plastic. Nothing is good enough. They could be doing so much good in thw world if they just accepted the fact that most people are going to be omnivores and use leather products. They could do so much for the condition of farm animals, for the conditions of domestic animals, but no they are just a joke.

Now when they really could have some influence and some say in something real and disgusting, like dog fighting, they are too much of a joke. It's just one more thing PETA is against.

Oh and hang DMX by his balls and feed him to the dogs. It would be a much better world without his sorry ugly ass.

25. PETA ES&D.....can't stand PETA..............and its not about DMX cause he's crazy as all hayle......

Posted at 6:57PM on Aug 31st 2008 by PETA STFU!!

26. Well Kobe got off for rape because the girl took a payout, that was her choice, she could have gone ahead with trial but she wanted the money more. OJ got off because he had a mostly black jury and his lawyers played the race card to the hilt.

27. PETA STFU...what is wrong? A little guilt from eating defenseless animals got you so angry? How can you hate an organization that defends animals rights and wants animals to live at peace without cruelty or neglect? You are so obviously ashamed of your meat eating, animal cruelty ways. It is a sad shame!!!!!

29. To Sickening,
Are you STUPID? "Michael Vick....let a few dogs fight each other, he gets 23 months"

MICHAEL VICK had over 65 dogs which he kept and abused for over 6 years. He had BREEDING CAGES where he would force ONE FEMALE pitbull to make ALL the babies. If she didn't make enough puppies fast enough, he would kill her. He electrocuted, drowned, and even buried dogs ALIVE if they didn't meet his standards (or got injured). People think pitbulls are naturally aggressive and violent, but they're not. Pitbulls are actually one of the MOST sweetest, obedient dog breeds in existance. They are only violent if they have been abused or trained to be that way. If a person can be this SICK and CRUEL to animals, just IMAGINE what he could do to people. Both Vick and DMX are rich enough to afford ANY kind of entertainment they want, and yet they choose to watch helpless dogs kill each other. How pathetic.

I agree that PETA can get a bit annoying at times, but this is an issue that is just plain WRONG. So instead of arguing over PETA and its faults, why dont we just appreciate that it is bringing important issues to the public. I hope DMX gets major time in jail.

Human beings can speak out, animals cant.

30. I agree that he should have his junk ripped off by the poor pits he abused.. How can any sane person enjoy dog fighting-these perple are f***ed up and need to be put down, not the dogs.
