MIAMI -- As a child, Lazaro Galindo cut open the family puppies "to see all the pretty colors inside." As a teenager, he kept a black cauldron filled with hatchets and knives, all tools he used to sacrifice animals for his religion. He once told a detective he had an insatiable desire to eat human flesh.

He used his cherished weapons to butcher a romantic rival. He said he cut off the victim's leg and fingers because an evil spirit he called Candelo told him to.

He described the grisly murder in a nearly 40-page confession, which was detailed at his just completed murder trial.

When police came to his trailer days after the murder, they found a cauldron filled with knives and metal weapons. Chicken blood, a coconut, cigars and pennies littered the altar; skulls were scattered about.

Note to self: remember to clean up rumpus room before Mom comes to visit.

Here you go...all you defenders of Michael Vicks!

Guess torturing Pitt Bulls is just not “playing either’.
Those who are cruel to animals will be cruel to humans, now or later...more or less so.

Like Dammer. Like Dammer, this guy has given himself wholly over to evil. He needs to be executed quickly.

Correct. According to the FBI, nearly all serial killers started off killing animals. The other two indcators are chronic bed-wetting (beyond early childhood) and starting fires.
