Ron Artest Is Officially an Ass
It is one thing for Ron Artest to do an asinine thing like attacking a fan which consequently resulted in a brawl in The Palace, but it is another thing to be cruel to defenseless animals. And that is what Ron Artest has done...
Animal services officers seized a Great Dane from the mansion of Sacramento Kings star Ron Artest, saying the dog was underfed.
Apparently Artest's neighbors had complained for weeks that the Kings forward had neglected his dog Socks to such an extent that they witnessed the dog starving in a gated area for weeks. After several complaints, animal services finally visited Artest's home on January 30th and issued a pre-seizure notice insisting that if Artest didn't treat Socks in a better manner than they would come back and seize the dog. And that is just what they did...
lacer County animal services officers returned to Artest's home Monday and removed Socks.
Whether you like Artest or not as a player and even a person, you can't have any less respect for the guy after the way he treated his innocent and dependent dog. What a schmuck.
Artest has 10 days to request an appeals hearing in order to win back Socks. Knowing him though, he will probably be too busy with an album release...Oh yeah, wait, nobody buys his crappy music.

Is Ron Artest the Mike Tyson of the NBA?
Ugh. That's fucking disgusting.
How can anyone treat a pet like that? What exactly goes through their heads?
It's dumb that you think not feeding a dog is worse than beating on a guy half your size. And the wrong guy at that.
Well the dog is defenseless and Artest would have caused the dog to experience a slow and extremely painful death had it not been for the residents around Artest calling animal services. I think that is worse than Artest punching a man once or twice.
monster!
Why do I get this image of that poor dog chained to discarded truck axle, with an old hubcap for a dog dish? Probably because I've seen that kind of crap before...in a junkyard
somebody please buy one of his cds so he can afford to feed his pets
If he wasn't playing ball & a multi-millionaire many times over, Artest would be in an out of jail - sorry to say.
Duh... Do ya think Ron Artest's DOG would even be ALIVE if it didn't have WATER for weeks? C'mon, use some LOGIC -- The story was SENSATIONALIZED because bad news about FAMOUS PEOPLE sells newspapers & magazines. He has four dogs and ONLY 1 DOG WAS SKINNY. Apparently, his American Bulldog was dominating the food and the dog-sitter didn't notice because the dogs run around on FIVE acres. Ron admitted there was a problem... so GET OVER IT and find the people who are DELIBERATELY cruel to their animals..... PS: The fan at the Palace ASSAULTED Ron by throwing a full cup of beer into Ron's face while he was lying down on a table. Ron's instincts were to defend himself. I honestly think I would have done the same! The FAN started the brawl, not Ron Artest!
Jon, you're a douchebag. The neighbors all saw enough evidence that this dog was starving, but his owner and his dog-sitter didn't? Aw, hell, it's just a mistake! Everyone knows an accidentally starving dog isn't really as hungry as one that someone's starving on purpose.
Dipshit.
"ben losing it ? Are you brain dead? The neighbors said they were feeding the dog everyday too, but the dog was still SKINNY, so the neighbors are guilty of the same thing Ron was accused of -- feeding a dog who REFUSED TO EAT! Duh! The dog didn't eat because he was afraid of the bulldog who was guarding the food. Ron's other dogs WERE NOT SKINNY and the problem has been resolved. Wow -- It is SO HARD TO GET THROUGH TO SOME PEOPLE -- especially -- Mr. ben backassed my whole life. Grow a brain, ben.
