Woman arrested for duct taping dog's mouth shut to stop it barking

A woman is accused of wrapping duct tape around her dog's mouth to stop it barking, then laughing as she posted the pictures online.  Kimberly Ann Howell has been charged with animal cruelty after sharing the distressing photos on her Facebook page.

The 25-year-old posted the images of her mixed-breed dog, Leah, claiming she was teaching her a lesson for trying to bite her daughter and wrote "Ha ha," in the caption, it was reported.
Someone saw the post and reported Howell to police.
She was arrested and charged with cruelty to animals, according to Rowan County Sheriff’s Office.
Howell, from Salisbury, North Carolina,was later released from prison on $3,000 bond.

Howell reportedly told authorities she removed the tape immediately after posting the pictures, according to Fox News Denver.

Howell later took to Facebook to defend herself.

She wrote: "Wow ok maybe I should of said I was joking when posting that.
"But honestly though people would know better anyone who spend a week at my house would see how spoiled and loved my dog is.
"Anyways guess I really didn’t think through but anyone who knows me knows when I got Leah she was skin and bones how that animal abusee (sic).”
"I have made my mistakes in life too and believe me either I’ve paid for them or am still paying for them. But to call me an animal abuser or child abuser that’s so not true."
Investigators said the dog was healthy and unharmed.

There were no signs of abuse or neglect on her body, the Rowan County Sheriff's Office said.

Howell is due in court on November 4th.

    Hmmmmmm. In fact hers is far more than animal cruelty. Must she pose it on social media to show d extent of her misplacement.

    Biko she should b punished accordingly so dat dis wil serve as deterrent to others.

    $3,000 bail bond? Linda abeg what punishment has been given to the dog by their law for biting? The rate at which these people are going, I hope one day they don't wake to allow animals the right of voting and contesting. I see all these as a satanic attempt to reduce God's image (man) to animals.
    This generation? It is well.
    I'm happy to be African I tell you.

      I guess your concept of abuse and neglect is different from theirs. If you were over there you'd probably be in the same boat with her :)
