People who abuse and torture animals are clearly psychopaths. I've seen homeless people beaten up, kicked, bloodied-you know those thugs kicked cats for fun and find such activities "fun." So it does not bother them to kick homeless, ill people. Animal cruelty, especially cat/kitten abuse, is especially linked with rape and sexual assault because cats have this "feminine" connection whereas dogs are more "masculine". Even note the terminology of "pussy cat"; it's all about power and domination and enjoyment of HURTING, even killing, a helpless creature. "Pussy" cat and the derogatory word used for female genitalia is not an accidental label. THUGS who torture and kill cats-next it could be minor girls, or women; cats and kittens will be the FIRST victims before graduating to human (including child) victims.

But today it is clear (there are solid links) that killing of animals who can’t protect themselves is a pathological trait. It almost inevitably leads to the same treatment of humans.
That includes hunters and butchers. You are wrong here, “Free” “Dumb.”
Your first link gives no statistics on any of this—it’s all pop psychology, which obviously is wrong if hunters and butchers don’t kill people.
Then you post a link to a place that, according to Google, only supports liberal causes:

But I guess a person that supports “Jobs for Change,” “Gay Rights,” “Middle East Peace,” “Animal Rights,” “Ending Homelessness,” and “Global Warming” from a liberal perspective fits you.
