Angry Man Charged With Felony Animal Cruelty

Why do people like this guy get dogs in the first place.


Dog Dies After Man Tapes Snout Shut So He Could Sleep
Man Charged With Felony Animal Cruelty

POSTED: 7:29 am EDT July 23, 2004

THE COLONY, Texas -- A Texas man has been arrested after police say he taped the muzzle of his brother's dog shut -- and the dog died.

The 1-year-old black Labrador retriever -- named Bull -- was euthanized after suffering from heat stroke.

Police said Richard Swift of The Colony, near Dallas, taped the dog's muzzle shut last week to stop him from barking so he could sleep.

Swift was arrested two days later on a felony animal cruelty charge. He's free on bond. If convicted, he faces up to two years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

An official with the SPCA of Texas told The Dallas Morning News that the taped muzzle kept the dog from panting. Panting allows dogs to cool down, since they don't sweat like humans.

The Karma this kind of thing must carry with it is frightening. I can't help but believe we are held more responsible for the cruelties perpetrated on helpless, trusting creatures than those we commit against each other.

You think that's bad? On Animal Precinct or Cops one time, a guy put a rusty, gnarled tin can on a dog's snout as a muzzle.

Why are people so stupid? It's depressing... And maddening.

I remember seeing that. It's amazing how many dogs are abused everyday.
