One of the mostdangerous things that can

happen to a child is to killor torture an animal and

get away with it.-Anthropologist Margaret Mead


4/21

Connection between cruelty against

animals and violence against humans in

the Philippines

Is unrecognized

Many reported animal cruelty and

human violence are considered by theauthorities as separate and unrelatedact of crimes.


5/21

Fortunately, the animal welfare

organization, educators, child protectionand social service agencies, and mentalhealth professionals are starting to

recognize that animal abuse is aggressiveand an anti-social behavior.

It is said that it is also a reliable predictor of

violence against people after a young abusergrows up.


6/21

Nearly all young children go through a stage

of Innocent cruelty

during which they may harmsmall insects or other small

animals in the process of

exploring the world anddiscovering their abilities.


7/21

However, most children with proper guidance from

parents and teachers, can become sensitive to thefact that animals experience pain and sufferingand thus try to avoid causing such pain.


8/21

Some, however, seem to become locked intoa pattern of cruelty that can last a lifetime.


9/21

Acts of cruelty to animals are not mere

indications of a minor personal mistake inthe abuser; they are symptomatic of a deepmental disturbance.

Research in psychology and criminologyshows that people who commit acts ofcruelty to animals dont stop theremany ofthem move on to their fellow humans.


10/21

We may consider some research, facts and findings

from other country that will signifies that animalcruelty and human violence has connection:

(1) Murderers ... very often start out by

killing and torturing animals as kids, saysRobert K. Ressler, who developed profilesof serial killers for the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation.

(2) Studies have shown that violent andaggressive criminals are more likely to haveabused animals as children than criminalswho are considered non-aggressive.


11/21

(3) A survey of psychiatric patientswho had

repeatedly tortured dogs and cats found that all ofthem had high levels of aggression toward people aswell.

(4) According to a New South Wales newspaper, apolice study in Australia revealed that 100 percent ofsexual homicide offenders examined had ahistory of animal cruelty.


12/21

(5)According to a 1997 study done by the

Massachusetts SPCA and Northeastern University,animal abusers are five times more likely to commitviolent crimes against people and four times morelikely to commit property crimes than are individuals

without a history of animal abuse.


13/21

(6)Dr. Randall Lockwood, who has a doctorate in

psychology and is senior vice president for anti-cruelty initiatives and training for the American SPCA,states "A kid who is abusive to a pet is quite oftenacting out violence directly experienced or

witnessed in the home," Lockwood said, adding thatabout one-third of children who are exposed to familyviolence will act out this violence, often against theirown pets.


14/21

(7)Others either abuse pets or threaten to abuse

them as a way to control an individual."So much ofanimal cruelty... is really about power or control,"Lockwood said. Often, aggression starts with a real orperceived injustice. The person feels powerless and

develops a warped sense of self-respect. Eventuallythey feel strong only by being able to dominate aperson or animal.

(8) To researchers, a fascination

with cruelty to animals is a

red flag in the backgrounds

of serial killers and rapists.

(9) Examples That Make the Headlines: Notorious Killers

a) Albert DeSalvo (the Boston Strangler), who killed13 women, trapped dogs and cats and shot arrows atthem through boxes in his youth.

b) Jeffrey Dahmer (Serial killer) impaled frogs, cats,and dogs heads on sticks.

c) Dennis Rader (*BTK killer), who terrorized people in

Kansas, wrote in a chronological account of hischildhood that he hanged a dog and a cat.

* BTK BIND them, TORTURE them, KILL them

d) During the trial of convicted sniper Lee BoydMalvo, a psychology professor testified that theteenager, who killed 10 people with a rifle, had

peltedand probably killednumerous cats withmarbles from a slingshot when he was about 14.


17/21

10) And few classic examples that reported animal

cruelty in the Philippines was the:a) JerzonSenador posted the above picture of hispuppy on Facebook, saying that he decided to try

hanging his dog on a clothesline because he wasbored. The teen boasted that there was no way hewould get into trouble for just washing his dog.


18/21

b) In the crush video, young Filipina enjoys inflicting

pain in animals where they get sexual arousal.


19/21

c) During AKF rescue operation we always

encounter how cruel this dog trader treats thehelpless dogs.

Tying the feet and snout of dogs so tight enough to kill adog.

Collected and confined the dog on few days in a verysmall cage without food and water.

Bit the dogs head and slash the dogs neck to death.


20/21

The community should recognize that abuse to anyliving is unacceptable and endangers anyone .

Children should be to taught to care and respectanimals as way of teaching them to respect theirfellows as they grow old.

Condemn any form of animal cruelty.

Implement the law by apprehending and filing casesagainst the violators.

What we can do???
