PLEASE KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON YOUR ANIMALS THIS MONTH!!!

I have seen many stories and biographies on serial killers and other viscious killers and a common thing about a lot of them is that they did cruel and torturous things to animals when they were young.
Neglect of animals is bad enough, but to purposely kill, torture or maim an animal is despicable.

Some do the same to humans too: torture!
Heard about that Chinese 4 years in Canada, torture that innocent young man on that Greyhound bus?

David, like you said, this isn't a pleasant thread at all, but if it saves one Brokie from losing their beloved kitty, then it's worth it.
Sue, I agree with you. I remember reading about Jeffrey Dahmer, back in the day, and that's exactly how he started out, torturing and murdering innocent creatures out in the woods in his backyard. Also, I found this article on the Belfast Telegraph this morning, something currently happening in England, which reiterates that point:
£1000 reward to capture serial cat killer
Tuesday, 14 October 2008
A £1,000 reward was offered today to bring a serial cat killer to justice.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) has stumped up the money for information leading to the prosecution of the culprit who has poisoned 28 cats in Somerset since April.
Nine pets in Weston-super-Mare, six of them in the same street on the Bournville housing estate, have died after being poisoned with anti-freeze in the last two weeks.
Between April and August, 19 cats in nearby Bridgwater died after suffering vomiting, diarrhoea and fits and eventual kidney failure, caused by ingesting ethylene glyco, the agent commonly found in anti-freeze.
Last month Avon and Somerset Police and the RSPCA launched an investigation and now Peta is offering up to £1,000 as a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible.
Peta is also urging residents to keep a watchful eye on their animals and to keep all cats indoors.
Suzanne Barnard, from the animal rights group, said that, because animals cannot report abuse, they are the perfect "practice" victims for violent people.
"Weston-super-Mare residents have good reason to be concerned. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals often go on to commit violent acts against their fellow humans.”
The RSPCA said its investigation was split between searching for a malicious psychopath and an innocent source of the chemical, like a breaker’s yard.

Tomorrow is mischief night, or Devil's night, depending on where you live. And then Saturday is Halloween.
Fun time of year, however, it's also the time that sickos do things to animals.
Please remember that if you have pets, keep them indoors, and keep your eye on them, and the neighborhood in general.
Sorry to bump up a thread on this topic, but everyone with pets should get a reminder.

All my girls and guys are in the house! :) It's smelly sometimes(especially lately since it has been raining every day), but I don't have to worry about them that way. ;D :D
