Rapper DMX Arrested for Animal Cruelty

DMX, whose lyrics show his shady stance on animal cruelty in such delightful songs as Dog Match has been arrested on charges of animal cruelty and drug possession. Considering Dog Match blatantly glorifies dog-fighting (seriously, hasn’t he learnt from Michael Vick’s mistake?) I don’t see how he’s going to get out of this one. The indictment came after reports that dogs were being abused on his property last year, led authorities to search his home, where they seized 12 pit bulls and found the bodies of three others buried on his property. Don’t worry, PETA US are all over this one and have contacted the prosecutor asking that, if convicted, DMX gets the maximum prison sentence, a ban on owning animals and counselling.
