CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- A South Carolina man who wrapped electrical tape around a dog's muzzle to stop her from barking has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Media outlets report William Dodson's sentence Friday represented the state's maximum for animal cruelty. However, Dodson's sentence for mistreating Caitlyn won't extend his prison time.

The 43-year-old North Charleston man was sentenced a day earlier in federal court to 15 years on a gun charge stemming from a traffic stop months before Caitlyn was found in spring 2015. Under a plea agreement, the two sentences will run simultaneously.

"I wish I could give you more," Judge Markley Dennis told Dodson in court Friday.

Well, the ex-President, Hussein Obama would agree that dogs
are for eating. - DUB got one of my chicken strips and a
biscuit and gravy & potatoes for lunch. She left me with
enough - 2 big strips & a container of potatoes & gravy.
I delight in spoiling my animals. (The tender mercies of the
wicked are cruel. They mistreat their beasts.) He needs his
fat butt kicked all the way up to the road.

And I did a search too before posting it. I wonder if the server troubles kept it from being found.

Didn’t mean to step on your toes...

No problemo.

Just glad more FReepers got to chime in on it.

Not so glad at the way some of them feel about the situation, though

Yes!!!!!! I am so happy that the heartless nuts on this thread are in the minority. May they skitter off to a garbage dump somewhere.

Am I missing something? Taping the dog’s mouth didn’t increase his prison sentence. Consequently, regardless of your position, isn’t the judge’s comments and sentence just virtue signaling?

I would think that we would all agree that there should be some penalty.

“I absolutely looooove dogs -”

Forgive me if I have my doubts.

Understood --- One can actually truly love an animal *and* realize that they are, simply, an animal.

Ergo -- completely beneath people. Nothing more sinister than that...

It’s very true, that psychos who harm humans very frequently get their start by tormenting and killing animals. Something is seriously missing in any human being that can inflict pain on another living creature.

The subjectivity of morality does pose dilemmas that reasonable minds can equally disagree on.

For example... If my dog and Hillary both fell through the ice of a frozen pond and I only had time to save one, despite what all my instincts told me to do, I would pull that old miserable bitch out first.

Then I would wait on the shore with her keeping her warm until the police showed up to fish out the former Secretary of State.

5 years? Are you kidding me. What a joke. Animals are not equivalent to humans.

He did not simply tape the dog's mouth shut to prevent barking, nor will Dodson's sentence for mistreating Caitlyn won't extend his prison:

The tape cut off blood flow to her tongue. Veterinarians at the Animal Society unraveled it after an estimated 36 hours.

The 43-year-old North Charleston man was sentenced a day earlier in federal court to 15 years on a gun charge stemming from a traffic stop months before Caitlyn was found in spring 2015.

Dodson still faces state drug charges stemming from the March 2015 traffic stop. Prosecutors say he tossed a loaded pistol, along with cocaine and marijuana, as he ran from North Charleston police officers.

Under a plea agreement, the two sentences will run simultaneously...Dodson's sentence for mistreating Caitlyn won't extend his prison time. >© 2017 The Associated Press

Ignore the “won’t” from my sentence.

Very well said.

How can anyone condone hurting a precious, loving, trusting animal?

Like “Lucille”, upside the head.

I keep a mental list.

They are the people I would not piss on, if they were on fire.

That was an actual post?!?

OMG.

I cringe to think I’m sharing cyber-space with such soulless demons.

FR use could use a good purge.

If they “see nothing wrong”, I would hazard a guess that they themselves partake in such barbarities.

Hopefully, some big Bubba who misses his own beloved dog, will take care of this maggot.

Yeah, 5 years is too long.

Here’s hoping he doesn’t make past 5 weeks.

Agreed. If you cannot live humanely amongst animals, you cannot live humanely amongst people.
