QUESTION: why do people who abuse animal up grow to be involved in more serious crimes?

Answer
Hi Rashida,

All I can say is that the FBI did a study on serial killers, and they were cruel to animals as youngsters.  Violence begets violence - and a violent person has no compassion for others.

Research that FBI study - it should answer your question further...
