My intent is to keep my blog and web site family friendly at all times. This is a subject that affects us all so I have chosen to mention it. I will always warn you if a posting has something that your young children should not be exposed to.

Please note: In my opinion, the following web site is NOT for young children, or any child to see without parental consent, due to its grim information about the proven links between cases of animal cruelty that preceded human to human cruelty and crime. The Web site is: Pet-Abuse.com.

I quote from this site: “Many studies in psychology, sociology, and criminology during the last 25 years have demonstrated that violent offenders frequently have childhood and adolescent histories of serious and repeated animal cruelty. The FBI has recognized the connection since the 1970s, … Other research has shown consistent patterns of animal cruelty among perpetrators of more common forms of violence, … In fact, the American Psychiatric Association considers animal cruelty one of the diagnostic criteria of conduct disorder.”

I snipped out some specifics, visit the site for the full information.
