Terrance Cody's agent responds to animal cruelty investigation

What smells like bullshite is the attorney's response. Worms? WTF? If that was all there was to the story, law enforcement never would have even become aware of the situation.

The only way the dog dying of worms would result in an investigation would be if Cody had refused to have the dog treated over a period of time...possibly involving frequent vomiting and diarrhea, weight loss, etc...and the dog's health deteriorated to the point where Cody had obviously neglected him. A dog doesn't just get worms one day and drop dead.

"He loves this dog. Why would he have the dog treated otherwise?"

Does this guy even have a clue how bad the situation would have gotten before the dog would have died? How long a dog would have to suffer before actually dying?

I don't know if Cody is guilty of anything or not, but sometimes the best thing for moronic lawyers to do is to keep their mouths shut.

Terrance Cody's agent responds to animal cruelty investigation
I thought the attorney gave a good response. What facts do you have that indicate he is wrong?

---

Do you know anything about worms in dogs? I hope like hell that he was wrong, because if he's right, it means Cody let that poor dog suffer in incredible agony for God only knows how long, and I'd really like to believe that Terrence Cody isn't a disgusting piece of shite.

Maybe he means the dogs "ate" some worms. And they were yummy chocolate worms, given to Cody from a dear friend who loves animals, and the dog got into them by accident.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Looks like a perfectly healthy gator to me.

That being said, dumb as frick to even own one.

Yep, those comments from the Baltimore Sun article sounds bad for Cody...

In the 1 1/2 years that Cody lived in our neighborhood, we never saw him tend to the dogs, spend any time with them, feed them, train them, walk them. They never left the small back yard. They lived outside in their own filth in all weather. They were sliding in feces on the deck. These were presa canarios, (the Animal Control officer called them "pit bulls on steroids"}, dogs that are bred for fighting, need to be socialized early to be safe around people, taken for long walks to decrease their aggression, and trained. None of this was done. The children were warned away from his property. There was not much else we could do. I don't think he meant to be cruel at all. Just didn't know. But he probably shouldn't be allowed to own dogs. I don't know why his dog died in this instance, but this was the experience in our neighborhood. So I was not surprised and sad to see this story.

I can believe this, unhappily. Mr. Cody lived in our development for about a year and had pit bulls and other dogs in the small back yard that were not cared for. The worst of it was that he never cleaned up after the dogs and their excrement was left until it covered the yard and deck. It became a unimaginable health hazard and various agencies were called in to try to deal with it to little effect. We were all happy when he moved.

both were from the same person. It sounds more like he's not a POS animal abuser, just a dumbass.

So are we required by law to have a sick dog treated? There is a difference between abusing a pet and a pet dieing of what appears to be a natural cause that the owner did not cause. If we are required then are pet owners instructed upon purchase that any death of that pet beyond old age could result in criminal charges? I don't have a dog or cat but I have tropical fish. when they get sick they die. Their remains are disposed of naturally in the tank. Does that make me a criminal? If not then why? Is a tripocal fish's life worth less than a dog?

It seems like he was leaving his dogs outside in confined spaces in their own shite for long periods of time. And it gets cold in Baltimore. Sounds like negligent abuse to me..

Negligent to the point of abuse. He could freakin hire someone to scoop poop for crying out loud.

Was the Gator named Tebow?
