Or a serial killer.
Huckleberry Finn got started that way too.

A young boy was caught by surveillance cameras tossing a beloved community cat off the 22nd floor of a building in Singapore.
The 10-year-old denied the allegations until a cat caretaker who lived in the same block, Block 186 Boon Lay Avenue, showed him the security footage. He then confessed to the crime, stating that he only did it because “he did not receive love and care from his family.”
Umi Solikati, a 39-year-old Boon Lay resident, said she found the cat, named Panther, dead at around 2 p.m. on Dec. 14. She had reportedly been feeding the cat every day for about 11 years, according to The Straits Times.
According to Chua Mui Mui, a 47-year-old local bus captain known for feeding the community cats, Panther's death was not an isolated incident.
“In the past two to three years, five cats were thrown off from the same block,” she was quoted as saying.
Hours after the video was posted online, a Change.org petition titled Justice for Panther was created, collecting almost 60,000 signatures. The creator of the petition, Nadya Im, called for the Animal and Veterinary Service and Singapore Police Force to “fully investigate and bring the perpetrator to justice.”
“We understand that the perpetrator is a juvenile and the Animal and Birds Act 1965 may not apply but we urge the relevant Authorities to enforce this law and hope that this act of cruelty will be punished with an equivalent standard,” Im wrote.

Sounds like the kid is a.menace. kids that torture animals eventually graduate to people. Or so I have read.
Little psychopath needs to be put away from the rest of Singapore.
At very least, this child needs a therapist to find out why he keeps killing helpless animals. Meanwhile, keep him busy doing Community Service under supervision. Don’t medicate him yet, if that is feasible.
SPJNK.
It’s Singapore, they cane the little urchins.
I know im going to hell for this,but,did it land on its feet?
I would volunteer to toss the boy out of a 22nd floor window.
“I would volunteer to toss the boy out of a 22nd floor window.”
I would happily join you. Either that or let him loose in a hungry leopards cage.
My family would arrange a painful “accident” for me if I ever did something like that or failed to stop someone around me from doing something like that.
Sadly, it probably tried to, but 22 stories is a long fall, and it would have reached a velocity such that if it managed to stay feet-down, it still would have been crushed by the impact.
You're not going to hell. Or if you are, for that thought, I'll be joining you.
Or a serial killer.
Huckleberry Finn got started that way too.
It’s not true according to criminality stats but there is a connection.
People who have abused animals are a fairly large group. People who abuse other people is a small subset of the animal abuser set.
I notice a lot people repeating the idea that animal abuse leads to human abuse. I don’t know why people are attracted to this idea.
Oh of course, he kills inoffensive animals for no reason but he is the "real victim".
Bloody brat.
Just wondering..... since not all animal abusers abuse people, do most people abusers start with animals?
“If that cat had nine lives it sure used ‘em all.”
Yes, that’s what I recall.
They cane people in Singapore for things like this.
Did the cat land on its feet?
Future serial killer.
