Florida woman duct tapes barking dog's mouth shut, posts photo to Facebook
  • 8 years ago
AVON, CONNECTICUT — A Florida woman is feeling the wrath of furious social media users after posting a photo online of her dog with it's mouth wrapped shut with what appears to be duct tape.

The now viral post, made to Facebook by Katie Brown, has been shared more than 300,000 times and came packaged with the following explanation: "This is what happens when you don't shut up!!!."

Unsurprisingly, it received a very strong reaction.

Direct responses from Brown's Facebook friends saw her called every negative name under the sun from disgusting, douchebag, r****d, b***h and more.

Brown attempted to justify her actions by pointing out she'd only taped her dog's mouth shut for a measly 60 seconds.

"Dont (sic) panic everyone it was only for a minute but hasnt barked since... POINT MADE!!!," wrote Brown in a separate Facebook post.

It wasn't just her friends who took action, though. Police in South Daytona, Florida, where Katie's account lists her residence say they've received calls from around the world and enough messages to shut down their email servers and computers.

The photos, however, were most likely actually taken in faraway Avon, Connecticut, where, according to the Orlando Sentinel, Katie has lived for the last year.

Police looking into Brown's actions reportedly spoke with her son who says the family's dogs are safe and doing well.
