Photo of dog’s snout duct-taped goes viral
Source: WFLA
The image went viral within a matter of hours – a heartbreaking photograph of a dog with its mouth sealed shut, bound with thick duct tape.
The innocent pup is seen sitting quietly, staring off into the distance. The owner claimed the dog was barking too much. The photo was posted Friday by a woman named Katie Brown from South Daytona. She also shared a message, “This is what happens when you don’t shut up!!!”
Within 24 hours, the post was shared hundreds of thousands of times. So much outrage came pouring in to the City of South Daytona, sources say their server crashed. In addition, concerned citizens were calling the city’s emergency communications center from as far away as Australia. Seven people were called in to work overtime to handle the large number of 911 calls. People were begging the city and law enforcement to find the woman and rescue the dog. The owner, it turns out, was in Avon, Connecticut for the holiday weekend.
The outrage online was massive. Messages flooded Facebook and other websites. Some messages were threat-based, graphic and profanity-laced. “Just hold her head underwater until the bubbles stop,” wrote one man. Another person shared, “I’m coming after you.” “How could you do this to an animal,” one woman wrote, while another message read, “Let’s put tape over your mouth.” Someone even posted a photo of her truck. She told people on Facebook, “It was only for a minute.” Then, in all capital letters, she followed up with, “POINT MADE!”
