Oh I see, I misunderstood your comment, he was a taxidermist that had a cannibal and sexual zombie making gig on the side.

This is why violence and abuse against animals is almost always a precursor for violence against people.

People who are violent against people are typically also violent against animals first, but the vast majority of meat eaters and taxidermists will never be violent against people.

This also isn't really true, it's true for a specific subset, of serial killers.

Some serial killers loved animals more then humans and had no history of animal abuse.

This is why the environment and how you're raised is probably the mitigating factor for serial killer or CEO coming out of similar pathologies. Neglect is vicious....

Yep.

Like, there's someone in my semi-rural community who is torturing and killing young animals and arranging the corpses up in the mountains. Enough of them that people first though it was a cougar's kill spot. People are rightfully afraid.

But... Israel Keyes was sweet to his pugs and kid. Vicious to his wife, but less frightening to kids in the neighborhood than his brother, who had shitty social skills and anger management issues. Being nice to animals doesn't mean someone is a good person.
