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!!”

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:
