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.

31. Abusing animals is disgusting and people who get off on it or can rationalize it need to be dropped onto a remote island with no chance of rescue or escape. If you are not going to take care of your animal, you just shouldn't have them to start with, it's not that complicated!!!!

32. Ordinarily I hate everything PETA stands for, as you might guess by my screen name, but as far as throwing the book at this guy and even the psych eval, I have to agree with them. Eating meat and wearing leather is one thing, I give thanks to the spirit of each animal who has died to help me, but abusing animals the way this man did is absolutely disgusting. He callously ignored and abused his dogs and that makes him lower than a snake's belly. Considerably lower.
