A woman who allegedly duct taped her dog's mouth shut then bragged about it on social media has been charged with animal cruelty .
Katharine Lemansky, 44, sparked outrage after reportedly posting a photo on Facebook of her pet, named Brown, with the silver tape wrapped tightly around its mouth.
The image, uploaded on Friday, was accompanied by the caption: “This is what happens when you dont shut up!!! (sic)”
The post was reported to authorities in South Daytona, Florida, where the woman was thought to have lived under the name Katie Brown, the Daily News reported.
Cary Police Captain Randall Rhyne said: "Taping the dog’s muzzle shut was a terrible decision on Ms. Lemansky’s part, and charging her with animal cruelty under North Carolina law was the right thing to do."
The chocolate labrador mix appeared to be unharmed and all of Lemansky's dogs were "very well cared for", police said.
They need to come here and see what our Bingos are going through. Lol
