Ok there is a lady that taped her dog's mouth shut and it's going viral. Everyone is freaking out about it and now the lady is being charged by the police.
People see the picture.....buy into the hype....and go ape-shit.
I looked into the matter further and found out she has multiple dogs that are all very healthy and clearly well loved. She did it as a joke....like people put pictures of their kids on FB holding up signs saying that they did something bad. They tested the tape on their own head before putting it on the dog. And that kind of tape doesn't pull out hairs when used on short dog fur......tape like that is actually used on dog's ears and tails for other reasons.
Funny thing is that no one would have said a word if she was teaching her dogs not to bark by a conventional method.......like using a SHOCK COLLAR. If she were using a shock collar like many people do....and shooting high voltage into her dog's neck....it wouldn't have gone viral. But because she closed her dog's mouth for a single minute.....everyone goes crazy? She could've just held the dog's mouth shut with her hand for a minute.....would've been EXACTLY THE SAME and then no one would have said anything.
The media plays a part of course....they don't show the other pictures of the dog sleeping on their owner's beds. Eating good foods.Living a privileged life....etc. They just show the one picture and try to make her look like a monster.
