WNCN just released the information that Katie Brown, aka Katharine F. Lemansky, 45, has been arrested in Cary, North Carolina. The image of the dog with its muzzle taped up was posted on Friday and, as reported by this Examiner, went viral shortly afterwards.
Ms. Lemansky now faces a Class 1 Misdemeanor Cruelty to Animals charge in Cary, where she was staying with the dog. The charge carries a fine and up to 150 days in jail. The South Daytona Police Department has been overwhelmed with requests, text, emails, and phonecalls to bring Ms. Lemansky to justice. Cary Police were able to track her down after being alerted by South Daytona police.
It is reported that she must appear in a Wake County court on December 14. The Cary police state that their "animal control officers physically examined the dogs found them to be very well cared for, which is why we did not and could not remove them from the owner. The dogs are current on their shots, spayed and microchipped. They are clean and well-nourished and appear to be comfortable in their surroundings. And there were no signs of injury to the dog's muzzle, not even detectable hair loss."

(14,691 posts)animals being helpless that people respond to strongly, and (adult or near adult) humans, attacked or even murdered do not generate the same response. I don't know why.

(4,959 posts)Her mug shot with the exact same caption she put on the pic of her dog:
"This is what happens when you don't shut up"
Cuz she's not only a fucking asshole, she's a stupid loudmouth fucking asshole.
Why the fuck would she share a picture like that with the world? It's bad enough to do it (I mean, what kind of person thinks that's okay?!) but then to spout off about it online with pictures? Just so fucking stupid.
Asshole. Poor dog deserves so much better.

(39,961 posts)and to me, that makes it even sicker. A Doberman is always ready, willing and able to fight for your life, even at the cost of their own. Their price? They get to sit next to you.
That's all they want. I can tell because of the elongated snout.
Regardless, what a nasty individual to do that to a dog. I just cannot fathom it.
