Man Faces Charges for Starving Pit Bull

0:00A man in Halifax County is facing animal cruelty charges after people from PETA found the starving pit bull chained up in his yard back on February. 26. The dog, named Cash, was in terrible shape severely underweight at just 29 pounds when he should have been between 50 and 60. He'd been left tether outside, something that's against local rules there. PETA stepped in right away and took the pit bull to their shelter for care, but a vet later decided he was too far gone and recommended euthanasia. So that's what happened. Marcus Bowser got a raid on the charge this past Wednesday and he said to appear in court again on May 12th. Authorities are handling the case as it moves forward, reminding everyone about the importance of proper animal care in the community. Stay informed with Durham news today. AI powered updates.
