Animals are not equivalent to humans.

Everyone: there are members of this forum that see absolutely nothing wrong with what this man did.
The dog is his property and he should do whatever he wants with his property.

The U.S. really is way out in front among First World nations when it comes to long prison sentences.
Indeed animals are for eating not pets.
dismissing the severity of the abuse against a dog?! Come on
Should have been 5 + a week of leg bites.
In this bastard’s case, I’d say a cockroach is more than his equivalent.
Punishment? Yes.Five years? Gimme a friggin' break! Five years probation maybe.
No animals are not equivalent to humans but anyone who would harm an animal would more than likely do the same to a person.
But animals depend on us to keep them safe. They’re at our mercy. Anyone who abuses an animal needs close watching. They have no soul, ergo, have no feeling toward hurting or maiming animals AND humans.
They certainly are not. In many ways they are far better.
No they're not, they're totally helpless and at the mercy of their human owners.
Show me one instance where any abused animal had the ability to successfully fight back against the cruelty it was being subjected to by its owners then maybe we might have a conversation..........
Until that happens, you're just another asshole jumping into a pro animal thread, spouting crap..........Get lost!
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
Terrible in our country when a dogs value has more than a newborns.... my heart just aches....
