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.

Wow Freedumb, I so wish we could deport “people” like you. Your heart is diseased or non existent, sad to be you.
Biting wasn't my point -- but, then, you probably knew that.
My point was --- as others have more eloquently noted --- that the punishment is ridiculous in comparison to sentences that people get for actions towards other human beings.
They are, after all, just dogs...
But I can accept the fact that other property owners might have different opinions...
And that is why "Conservatives" fail.
Willing to watch America burn as long as they don't personally contribute.
Willing to witness the most twisted cruelty and barbarism imaginable and do nothing, because the perpetrator has the freedom to do as he chooses.
More Ayn Randian objectivism. Morality is simply a social construct. Each man has his own morality. Who are we to judge?
The Conservative Anarchists certainly come out of the woodwork on these animal torture threads.
They never disappoint.
Another poodle peter logic.
Should have been 5 + a week of leg bites.
Indeed they are overhead unless eatable.
The Conservative Anarchists certainly come out of the woodwork on these animal torture threads.
You might want to put the crack pipe down, and stop hysterically putting words in other peoples' mouths...
Which one is the dog?
Dogs use the same area of the brain to interpret speech that we do. They understand words, inflection and tone. If humans had the sense of smell and hearing that dogs do we could truly consider ourselves to be super human.
Why? He is uncovering a flaw of libertarian philosophy.
Thanks for these lenient rape sentence posts. I have noticed the last few years a disproportionate outrage at animal abuse, but bored yawns at brutal treatment of human beings. Something is wrong with our society when lions, dogs, elephants etc. are elevated ahead of humans in the sanctity of life scale.
This kind of dog abuse definitely bothers me, but I am saddened by the difference in reactions to animal abuse vs the evil atrocities against humans all over the world.
No, They should put the DOG in his Cell... heh heh
This POS SOB should get the “CHAIR”.
Dang. I only got 22 comments when I posted this this morning.

But, as long as more get to see this, the better. Kudos.

A five years sentence....on paper only.
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’d like to give him 5 years worth of ass kicking.
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.

I don't have to put words in your mouth, or anyone else's.
You and a few other weirdos have very clearly stated your tolerance, even outright celebratory support, for animal torture.
I've seen it on Free Republic for 20 years. EVERY SINGLE animal cruelty post in 20 years, there are ALWAYS the fringe weirdo supporters that show up and defend it.
EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
There is simply a small fringe element of society that just doesn't think anything is wrong with animal torture.
You're the outlier here, not me.
Being against barbaric animal cruelty is a fairly mainstream viewpoint.
Your's is not.
