DMX Should Be Nailed Inside a Doghouse

You may remember me mentioning rapper DMX (whose real name is Earl Simmons) a while back. And frankly we’re sick of DMX…again, and every other celebrity that thinks power, money or fame will get them off the hook for mistreating animals.
PETA US has written a letter to the Honorable Andew P. Thomas – the judge overseeing Simmon’s charges stemming from a 2007 police raid of the rapper’s property where 12 pit bulls were reportedly found neglected, malnourished and messed up. The letter asks that if DMX is convicted of these charges to impose a sentence forbidding him from owning or harboring any animals for as long as possible, that imposes a truly meaningful period of incarceration and that requires him to undergo a thorough psychological evaluation followed by mandatory counseling at his own expense.
In one particularly cruel situation, police found puppies that had been left in their cages so long they apparently needed to be cut out of them.
DMX has an extensive criminal past – including a similar raid that took place at his home in New Jersey in 2002 (during which police found 13 pit bulls on his property), as well as an arrest for illegal drug possession. People who abuse animals often go on to abuse or even kill humans.
