Update 12/1/15: The woman has been taken into custody, according to the Cary Police Department. See video below:
A woman from Florida named Katie has angered thousands of animal lovers when she posted a photo of her dog whose mouth was duct taped shut.
According to her Facebook post, her Chocolate Lab just “won’t shut up” so she came up with a deranged idea to stop it: taping her dog’s snout shut. Katie was so pleased by her cruel efforts, that she took a photo and shared it on her Facebook page… with the caption: “This is what happens when you don’t shut up!!”
When people started reacting to the photo, she followed it up with another post:
The photo of the dog has been shared for more than 366,000 times, and it angered a lot of animal lovers around the world, prompting them to call and e-mail the police–with over hundreds of calls from all around the world reported!

According to the report by Orlando Sentinel, the woman is out of the state with her dog when the photo was posted. They are currently investigating this case and will contact her as soon as she returns.
Ms. Brown’s Facebook page has a lot of photos of her dog and other pet animals as well. The police have spoken to the woman’s son who said that the dogs are in good health and cared for.
As of the moment, the photo has been removed from her Facebook page. But as you can see from her previous meme, she doesn’t feel sorry about what she’s done:
