DMX Home Raid Turns Up Dead Pitbulls

DMX neighbors in Phoenix reported his 12 pitbulls were not being fed or watered despite being tied up in the Phoneix heat. Here’s more:

Sheriff deputies served a search warrant at the home Friday seized 12 pit bulls tied up on the property, and took them to an old jail that has been converted into an animal shelter.

Deputies found the buried dogs when they dug up the back yard. One had apparently been burned and the cause of death on the others was unknown because the bodies were decomposing.

Deputies also found a variety of firearms, some drug paraphernalia, and a lot of cars that don’t match the license plates. Sheriff Arpaio said. Authorities sought additional warrants so they could check the guns to determine if they were legal.

Blame it on the caretaker:

Simmons’ lawyer, Murray Richman, said Simmons hasn’t been in Arizona for at least two months and was "extremely disturbed" to hear the animals weren’t being cared for properly.

"We had a caretaker that wasn’t taking care, that’s what happened," Richman said. "He loves dogs — he loves these animals. Those dogs are practically his family."

How do we know the caretaker didn’t get eaten like the last guy?

In 2002, DMX pled guilty to animal cruelty for having 13 neglected pit bulls in his possession. This guy has a rap sheet longer than Santa’s naughty list. He must have at least one felony on his record, which would mean he couldn’t own even a single firearm legally. Where’s Jamie Foxx? Another brother needs your support. Three dog graves in his yard are nothing. Just ask Michael Vick.
