Is “DMX” (Earl Simmons) another scum-bag like Michael Vick who has mistreated and murdered Pit Bull dogs?
OK so, I’ve had enough now.
The police raided Earl Simmons’ house in Arizona, they seized a number of guns, freed twelve Pit Bulls (who were not being fed or given water) and on a further search they discovered three dogs buried in the yard, one of which had been burnt. Hmm…
…and his seemingly innocent lawyer expects people to believe that this guy isn’t a gang banger with no respect for anyone or anything, that he didn’t mistreat any animals and that it was all the “caretaker’s” fault… You, lawyer, will get what’s coming to you. Life always seems to work out payment for people like you…
I mean, come on, who are you kidding? You Scum… I hope you and Vick share the same cage and have someone to watch over you… Someone who will be making sure you’re safe, making sure you get food, making sure you get water, making sure you aren’t forced to do anything illegal, painful, cruel… Making sure you aren’t forced to fight, to kill, to survive, someone who will make sure that even if someone starts a fight with you, you won’t be murdered in a torturous way for not fighting back. I hope you’ll be treated with compassion, I hope you’ll be treated just like you deserve…
May the soap be constantly slippery and may your Prison Guards show as much care for you as you have shown for your animals… You Scum.

OOPS _ I posted this on your card page. I should have posted it here. Sorry.
If there is anything good about the Michael Vick story, it is that there is an emerging increased awareness about animal cruelty and animal fighting. There is so much anger about this issue. If we channel it into a positive direction, hopefully, something good can come of it. However…
I watched Vick’s public apology with my little son who USED TO wear Michael Vick jerseys to school. It is disturbing to think a certain percentage of the population is honestly going to be swayed by Michael Vick’s “enlightenment” carefully crafted by his overpaid attorneys. Call me a cynic, but I don’t believe a man who has been allegedly torturing animals since childhood coincidentally has a religious epiphany as a result of getting caught and losing his job. I hope I am wrong.
I think it is a sad commentary that we, as a culture, are using the Vick story to compare “What’s worse?” “What’s worse”, we ask, “carelessly fathering illegitimate children, or dogfighting?”. “Dogfighting or gambling?” “Dogfighting or rape?” “Dogfighting or racism?” “Dogfighting or hateful nationalism?” “Dogfighting or (fill in the blank)….?” The comparisons to dogfighting have been endless.
Dogfighting is one more piece of evidence our country is in need of a spiritual transformation (please note I said spiritual and not necessarily religious). Animals are sentient beings - they feel pain, and they suffer, just like we do. They are not more important, or less important than human beings, but like human beings, they are important, too.
Dogfighting pits one dog against another until one of them dies. The survivor gets his flesh torn off, ears ripped off, eyes pulled out, etc., and the reward for being “a winner” is to writhe in pain until the next fight. Enough said. The pictures make my flesh crawl. The losers are tortured, beaten, starved, electrocuted or drowned. For what? Because these poor creatures were unlucky enough to be born a dog!
Every major faith teaches its followers to be responsible stewards of animals and the Earth. Please help us get the word out that caring for animals, just like caring for people, is an important part of just being a decent person and citizen. If we make this a priority, there will be no more dogfighting horror stories, and no more pointless comparisons of evils. Let us all rise, together, to be better people than we are today, shall we?

DMX Fan: You’ve just proved everything I said… You’re either an idiot, or a guy from Canada (according to your IP) pretending to be an idiot. In which case, you’re an idiot.

i understand what u are saying. i love dogs and i hate to see any of them mistreated. but i think what u fail to understand is even though DMX is a great man he is also a troubled man. he doesnt need these hurtful words. But he does need to understand what “he did” if in fact he did do it is and was wrong. i do love him RUFF RYDERS TILL WE DIE
