Phsycological studies have shown that people who abuse animals WILL eventually move on to abusing people. Its not about the fact that they killed the dogs. Its how they did it and the fact these people obviously enjoy seeing something suffer. It said that they eletricuted the dogs. Thats not a quick and painless way to die. It is generally very painful and takes more than one jolt of eletricity to stop the heart. It also said that they drowned the dogs. That is a very slow and painful way to die. Look up the process that the body goes through when drowning. It would be the same for a dog as it is for a human. Putting a gun to somethings head and pulling the trigger doesn't take much. Theres no struggle. Its quick and mostly painless. Holding something underwater while it fights for its life shows an enjoyment for the suffering of another or a complete lack of respect for life. These are both text book traits of a sociopath(sp?). Sociopaths are the people that become serial killers, serial rapists, and mass murderers. Still not seem like a big deal? You want those people loose on the streets where they could get to you or your family? I think not.
