美國南卡羅來納州一名男子，因一隻流浪狗不停地吠叫而感到煩厭，他竟利用一卷黑色電線膠紙，緊緊地將小狗的上下顎箍實接近兩日，因此嚴重影響小狗的血液循環，有可能要切除整條舌頭。

41歲的William Leonard Dodson，在周一被北查爾斯頓區警方，以虐待動物的罪名拘捕；在他被捕前5日，15個月大的狗仔Caitlyn被居民發現在一條行人路上，身體虛弱，口部更被電線膠紙箍住，居民立即將牠送到查爾斯頓的動物中心，雖然牠只是隻流浪狗，但附近的居民都認得對人很友善的牠。

主診的獸醫Dr. Lucy Fuller表示：「Caitlyn當時感到很痛楚，牠的情況很惡劣，由於被膠紙綁實達36-48小時，血液循環完全被堵塞，肌肉組織壞死，可能要將其舌頭的大部分切除。」

但經過一個星期治療後，Dr.Fuller透露情況有好轉，他表示Caitlyn正接受一種高壓的冷凍激光治療，希望可以令其口部的肌肉組織復原。
