(86 posts)Just want to add that I have a social work degree and did some work with unattached children (children without a conscience.) One of the things I read about and discussed with others is that we would hear from therapeutic foster parents of these troubled children that if they were driving along and there was a dead animal in the street, these children would get happy and giddy and excited about seeing the blood and gore and guts of dead animals. While other children would be very sad and upset by dead animals, these kids were very excited and happy to be able to view the death and carnage.
There is what is called the homicidal triad of sociopaths as children, which is fire setting, bed wetting and killing animals. Viewing a dead animal for these kids may have substituted for actually being able to kill. This is just the briefest of views of a very complicated subject.
