Cesar Millan: Dog Whisperer Under Investigation For Possible Animal Cruelty

       

Uh oh! Dog loving Cesar Millan is under investigation for of all things, animal cruelty! A dog attacked a pig on his reality show ‘Cesar 911’ and viewers flooded LA County Animal Control with concerned calls.

Cesar Millan, 46, might need some training of his own after the Dog Whisperer used an unorthodox method of how to keep an ornery pup from not attacking other dogs. Instead of using another breed in the exercise, he used a live pig so that the dog being trained wouldn’t get hurt if he upset another canine. But the dog bit the poor pig’s ear and it’s squeals of pain have landed Cesar under investigation.

The L.A. County Animal Control major case unit has launched an animal cruelty investigation, according to TMZ, as they visited Cesar’s dog psychology center in Santa Clarita, CA March 10. The department was flooded with complaints after the Cesar 911 episode aired which showed a dog attacking and injuring a pig, so authorities are checking on the pig in question, as well as others at his training facility.

The video is painful to watch, as Cesar tells the camera about the black and white spotted dog, “He needs to stay calm with other animals, the pigs are just a place to start. But it’s important that I train him properly to behave off leash as well,” as pigs are seen roaming around in the background.

The mixed breed pup is taken off the leash and is calm for just a second before running straight towards the grazing pigs at full speed and tries to attack a pig before Cesar pulls him off. He gives the dog one of his orderly snaps to stay, but the dog bolts at pig again and this time takes a big bite out of the poor squealing thing’s left ear! The show aired the entire attack and even showed the bloodied pig!

Since this seems to be a common training exercise at Cesar’s ranch, Animal Control officials are going to want to make sure the rest of the pigs at the ranch are being treated properly, as well as that the pig in question is doing well.

are you disturbed by Cesar’s training video involving the pig being attacked?
