Cops Find 150 Dead Dogs in Mich. House

Share

(Newser) – Authorities in a Detroit suburb say they’ve found more than 150 dead dogs in a house where more than 100 live Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes were found during the previous 2 days, the Free Press reports. The search began following a neighbor’s complaint earlier this week about a foul smell coming from the home of Kenneth Lang Jr., 56.

The dead dogs were found in several freezers in the basement; police are continuing to search the property for more animals. “I can’t answer why anyone would do anything that went on in that house,” said Dearborn police chief Ronald Haddad, adding that Lang seemed confused and unable to care for himself when officers first showed up Wednesday.

Law-enforcement officials search the home in Dearborn, Mich., yesterday where a man kept more than 100 Chihuahuas.

It's a shame about the dogs, it really is. But to put it in perspective, if Cheney had tortured dogs like his people tortured men, women and children in Iraq, he'd be on his way to the gallows now. It's not too late, you know. Reply

sorry dude but your attempt to interject your particular bias into an unrelated subject just makes you seem bitter and obsessed
