I probably have a form of antisocial personality disorder (although I should point out that I didn't until I worked years of retail) -- I'll take animals over people just about every time, and I would have no problem with the cat killer (or Michael Vick) being executed. None at all. At some point a society has to recognize that there are clear signs of trouble coming, and harming animals is one of them, even if the person responsible is a nice, possibly affluent, not coincidentally white young guy. Some crimes are not only inexcusable, they're symptomatic.
I should also point out that I have a cat who was targeted by dogfighters as a practice animal and lost a leg as a result, so I'm not impartial here. But I'd feel anyway that this guy needs to go.

"The FBI has found that a history of cruelty to animals is one of the traits that regularly appears in its computer records of serial rapists and murderers, and the standard diagnostic and treatment manual for psychiatric and emotional disorders lists cruelty to animals as a diagnostic criterion for conduct disorders."
Which if history in notorious serial killers is any indication, it's correct (see Jeffrey Dahmer, BTK). I think it's almost a prerequisite for serial killers, psychpathy, etc., judging from profiles of these people.

I don't know what I think, but my one year old was watching VERY intently and I think he was getting some dangerous ideas.

Just thought you should know.

The cat-killer, though... I can't give that the benefit of the doubt in the same way.

Also, when I was little, my dad would read my bedtime stories that were just biographies of famous mathematicians, including Hypatia and Ada, Countess Lovelace. They were awesome.

Though after reading The Double Helix in high school, I started dividing my lady-scientist love between Curie and Franklin. To the point that if I ever have a daughter her name will either be Marie or Rosalind.

I shall just reserve judgment until then.

In criminology, it's often been noted that killing animals is a stepping stone, if you will, to killing people. Jeffrey Dahmer and lots of other serial killin' folk killed animals when they were younger.

Anyway. They caught the guy eventually and he turned out to live right down the street from us. He was an adult, and from a VERY wealthy family. And if I remember correctly, the police put some kind of long-term surveillance on him because of that same exact theory, that he might graduate to killing humans next. Scary as hell.
