133. I'm just saying

if you research the causes there are other ones besides "future serial killer&quot in those cases it was far more than 1 animal--which could be more than one for this child as we don't know if he killed more or not). While most serial killers have a history of animal cruelty, most children who commit animal cruelty don't become serial killers and the most common of those cases involve children who are at the receiving end of violence at home. The child could have a developmental disability as well. That is all my point was.

Of course, if it is a DV situation, the cycle of violence needs to be broken or the child could grow up to be an abuser as most abusers were abused themselves as children, not to mention the host of psychological problems that most often develop.
