No animal cruelty charges against ‘Dog Whisperer’ Cesar Milan

LOS ANGELES — An animal cruelty investigation into Cesar Milan, known as the “Dog Whisperer,” has ended and no charges will be filed, a spokeswoman with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office said on Monday.

The Department of Animal Care and Control in Los Angeles County launched the investigation after a Feb. 26 episode of the Nat Geo WILD TV series “Cesar 911,” in which Milan uses a pig to train a French bulldog terrier mix called Simon, who had killed two pigs in the past.

On the show, Simon is seen chasing the pig and nipping its ear, causing it to bleed.
