Ex-UFC star Frank Shamrock is reportedly being investigated by cops after he tied a dog to a truck and abandoned it for 5 DAYS at a Dallas airport earlier this month.
Shamrock had to move his ailing mother out of her Texas home — and in the process, was forced to take control of her two dogs.
Frank tells WFAA in Dallas he was able to find a shelter for one of the dogs … but when he couldn’t find a home for Zelda, the other dog — he tied her to a truck and left her at Love Field airport.
Shamrock admits the act was “terrible” … and says he ran away from the dog in tears.
But, Frank also says his actions helped keep the dog alive, saying, “Here is what I guarantee, that dog is alive and safe right now and I couldn’t guarantee that before I tied that dog to the truck and left.”
Police seem to disagree … and are reportedly investigating Shamrock — and considering levying animal cruelty charges against the fighter.
For his part, Shamrock says he’ll accept responsibility for it all, saying, “They can charge me with whatever. I will show up. It is what it is. I’m not hiding in any way.”
“It’s an unfortunate and terrible thing. I’m an animal lover and I ran away crying.”
Zelda is reportedly safe and in custody of Dallas animal control.
