There's a Cat Killer out there!

According to the New York Times, "[t]he FBI has found that a history of cruelty to animals is one of the traits that regularly appears in its computer records of serial rapists and murderers, and the standard diagnostic and treatment manual for psychiatric and emotional disorders lists cruelty to animals a diagnostic criterion for conduct disorders.[33] "A survey of psychiatric patients who had repeatedly tortured dogs and cats found all of them had high levels of aggression toward people as well, including one patient who had murdered a young boy."[33] Robert K. Ressler, an agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's behavioral sciences unit, studied serial killers and noted,"Murderers like this (Jeffrey Dahmer) very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids."[34]

That is why people who think it's not a big deal are wrong. It is a freaking big deal that for no reason a 18 year old boy torture and mutilate cats!

And why we are on the story of animal abuse, all the people comparing Vick to Stallworth are a bunch of dumbasses. Vick deserved the time he got plus more, and its the courts fault for not sentencing Stallworth to a bigger sentence. It is a joke that suddenly Vick looks like a victim.

That's the first intelligent statement you've made in this thread.

Actually we are on a person here in Baltimore who is torturing cats. I won't go into the gruesome details, lets just say it involves a cat, a fence, and some firecrackers. I guess you can use your imagination as to what that entails.
