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.

Montana man convicted for raping daughter gets probation

Any Freeper who finds nothing wrong with this is not a person that I would want to know. Animal abusers are subhuman scum. Animals have feelings just as humans do.
I have three dogs & a cat. If anyone harmed my fur babies, they would bitterly regret it.
Another fact: Anyone who would harm an animal would also harm a person. Many murderers abused & killed animals before moving on to killing people.
Anyone who would laugh this off is disgusting and immoral.
Didn’t Ontario (Canada) just make doggies sentient-beings—by Law?
The U.S. really is way out in front among First World nations when it comes to long prison sentences.
I applaud you. You did the right thing.
What’s disgusting is treating animals like humans.
If he did this to a human it would be 5 years maybe less.
Let me help you out, clown.
This kind of barbarism is completely antithetical to the values and culture of Western Civilization, and America specifically.
I know your type. I've been on this board for 20 years.
You and your ilk have a weird fetish for extremist Ayn Randian objectivism and libertarianism, up to and including anarchy. Morality is just a social construct, a symptom of human frailty.
"Freedom" and "Liberty" to you a-holes means a complete abandonment of Western culture, heritage, and mortality as long as every person can do whatever the hell he wants at any time with no judgment or consequences.
The only moral reservation you people have is murder. But polygamy, pedophilia, public nudity, porn everywhere in the public square, vile language everywhere, etc. etc. etc. is fine.
I know your type. I've watched your clowns for years. So has everyone else.
Your type also has an extreme fetish for "free market principles" so much so that you're completely willing to watch America burn as long as global corporations maximize their stock price.
You're not fooling me. The whole "animals are property so animal torture is OK" masquerade is simply the "Conservative Anarchist" coming to the surface.
Crawl back into your hole. Better luck next time.
Teen accused of raping 2 classmates gets probationn

Well said.
These people are "Fake Americans."
They're simply Anarchists LARPing as Conservatives.
its horrible, but rapists get off with less than 5 yrs....where is the proportionality?....
The SOB is lucky he was not caught by the right people. Maybe in the joint he’ll get his bell rung on a daily basis.
Indeed animals are for eating not pets.
I understand both sides and hold little animosity towards those that don’t feel as protective towards dogs as I do. However, just as with humans, people that purposely harm dogs should pay a price.
I honestly feel that part of my duty as a human is to raise as many rescue dogs as I can afford for as long as I am able.
Then we're both in agreement than you should not have pets.
Judge gives man 5 years deferred adjudication probation for raping fellow Booker T. Washington High School student during school

I’d like to wrap some industrial strength duct tape around his GD neck. Sorry bastard.
This reminds me of a story coming out of Iowa about 20 years ago (because I have relatives from Iowa talking about this). Three 18 year old high school students broke into an animal shelter and killed 16 cats with baseball bats. The parents were upset that the punishment was probation and community service.
There’s no shortage of people, especially your rancher and farmer types, that think there is absolutely nothing wrong with going out and killing anything and everything that isn’t livestock. Of course it’s fun, it a great family activity. They think the only thing those 18 year olds should be liable for is the front door that they kicked in and any other incidental property damage. Pretty sick people.
Re #33:
God Bless You.
Yet killing an unborn human is still “empowering” and a “choice”.
dismissing the severity of the abuse against a dog?! Come on
