Facebook brawls are commonplace, but few things get people riled up enough to share it 45,000 times in 14 hours. But that’s what happened when Katie Brown of South Daytona, Florida, posted a photo on Facebook that shows her dog’s taped muzzle. The photo, along with the caption that reads, “This is what happens when you don’t shut up!!!” sparked outrage across the country.
But what happened to Brown? Was she ever punished? New details have come to light in recent days, some of which are completely shocking.
The authorities’ decision to allow this woman to keep her dogs seems a little bit ridiculous. So what if they’re well cared for most of the time? This act is clearly abusive, so why should we give her another chance to hurt her pets? She shouldn’t be receiving death threats, because that’s never okay, but I don’t think we should give her a pass on this behavior. All we can do is hope that her dogs are never injured again!
