There are more charges against a man who authorities say was keeping more than thirty dogs near Hookerton.
Greene County animal control officers say Christopher McKinney is now charged with one felony count of animal torture and three felony counts of dog fighting.
Last month animal control found dogs at two locations that were without food, water or proper shelter. Some of the dogs were found cooped up in wire cages or tied down with thick heavy chains around their necks.
McKinney already was facing 49 misdemeanor counts of various animal cruelty charges.

i have raise pittbulls for abt 20 yrs.none of my dogs i had never hurt nobody. i trust them more than i trust a lab or sheppard.i have had many differnt types.they are some very friendly loving dogs i ever own.some people that on these dogs dnt deserve to.just because you own 30 dogs dnt you fight them.it dnt make you a bad person cause you own these dogs.but everybody fall on hard times it dnt mean they are being cruel.if you cant feed 30dogs cut it down to 10 or 15.

so why you want people to sign theyre name big trix? this is an avenue to vent opinions, not to be bullied in the real world by thugs who want to intimidate instead of using theyre brain to give decent argument . there is no room here for "if you be a man sign your name" give me a break, go play a violent video game or something, lol

i disagree that pit bulls make good pets, as a police officer, i have first hand seen what these "good pets" do to people, including theyre own owners. i have seen it first hand multiple times and have had to shoot a pit, at the owners request, and she stood waving her arms that were missing flesh from her own dog attacking her, all because he was attacking another man and she tried to intervene, the other man had six hours of surgery for his wounds, and was covered in bites from head to toe. yeah, good pets.
