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.

A *good* vet would be prone to finding out *why* a dog bites.
Pain, tick borne diseases, hypothyroidism are *all* a few of many health related reasons why dogs “suddenly bite”.
But a *good* vet would already be aware of those.
FWIW, there are vets I would never take a fly to, let alone a dog.
Just because someone has DVM after their name, doesn’t mean they’re fit for the job.
This kind of treatment of animals is a hallmark of Muslim “culture”.
That alone should say all that needs to be said.
Epic reply.
There is a definite link between what evil people do to animals and children.
Both are unable to defend themselves and often unable to even tell what has been done to them.
“Bless the beasts and the children. They have no voice. They have no choice.”
In a perfect world, anyone who harms a child or animal, should be gut shot and left to die.
*Those* are my two ‘hang ups’; hurting kids and animals.
If I had it my way, there would be *no* mercy for either crime.
FWIW, I think rapists should be shot, too.
It’s the ‘murder’ of the victim’s soul.
They *never* “recover” from it, really.
However, the liberals have made rape just another kind of “sexual diversity”.
*That* is where the lax rape sentences come from.
That’s true. I guess some posters here share some beliefs with the muzzies.
What a terrible thought...
My guess is the guy had a number of complaints about his dog barking and was under the gun.
He should have found it a home where it wouldn’t have disturbed so many people.
He royally screwed up.
Or, he was a control freak who didn’t know how to train a dog to not bark.
I’ve known people like this.
It’s domination of others, not “consideration”.
Also, it’s not like no one has invented the damn ‘bark collar’.
Cheap and effective, if you *must* quiet down a dog.

Teen who threw newborn baby out window won’t serve any jail time

OMAHA, Neb. - Antonia Lopez, a Nebraska teen who admitted to throwing her newborn baby out the window, won’t be serving any jail time, the Omaha World-Herald reports.
On Friday, Douglas County Juvenile Court Judge Christopher Kelly ordered Lopez to be placed on probation, live in a group home, take part in individual and family therapy, delete her Facebook account and perform 50 hours of community service, according to the World-Herald.
In September, Lopez, 16, reportedly gave birth to a baby girl in her apartment, then threw the baby out the window. She then texted her boyfriend, It was a girl by the way, and admitted her crime to her mother, the World-Herald reported. She told police that she was unaware that she was pregnant and thought she was just having her period.
An autopsy revealed that the infant, who later died, was still breathing at the time the blunt-force injuries were sustained. It also showed that Lopez had been pregnant for 25 to 28 weeks.
Shes coping the best she can, Lopezs defense attorney Rebecca McClung said, adding that her client thought the child was a stillborn. The mother is coping the best she can. The grandmother is coping the best she can.
Lopez was initially charged as an adult with felony child abuse resulting in death, which could have meant 20 years in prison. However, in February, her case was transferred to juvenile court after her mental state and lack of criminal record were considered, the World-Herald reported.
She reportedly was ordered to live in a group home because judges were concerned that she didnt understand the severity of her actions. The Facebook deletion order stemmed from her receiving numerous negative comments on her page following her arrest, the World-Herald reported.
She had a baby, threw it out a window, it was alive. Died of blunt force injuries.

....”Teen who threw newborn baby out window wont serve any jail time”.....
Yep..thought of that also as I read this dog header....
Judges no longer Judge......they assess according to their own assessment, which is different than judging.... we are so far from the truth it can hardly be seen anymore let alone be searched for.
