Michigan: Dearborn home, where Kenneth Lang Jr was running a concentration camp for Chihuahuas, is demolished

MICHIGAN -- A Dearborn home where a man was found with hundreds of live and dead Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes has been demolished.

The home had been deemed unfit for human habitation and was torn down Thursday, with cleanup expected to take a few days.

 

 

Kenneth Lang Jr. pleaded guilty in January to one count of cruelty to 10 or more animals and was sentenced to five years of probation in a mental health program. He also was ordered not to own animals.

In July, authorities found Lang was hoarding the dogs. More than 100 live dogs were inside, along with 150 dead ones in freezers. They say some dogs may have been killed with an injection.

 

 

 

 

 

According to newspaper reports all but 10 of the dogs have been adopted.
