Very interesting indeed, I wasn't aware there was a "link" between folk that mistreat animals and folk that are violent towards other folk, Nice one  |
Here's something local ... local for me anyway
It's from the Kingston Police Force web site ... note that it includes "children, other family members, or pets." And if charges are laid, they can not be withdrawn by either the police or the complainant ... it has to go to trial. None of this sobering up and changing one's mind. Which, to my mind is not a bad idea. None of this beating up your old lady and then smoothing things over with flowers, candy, and promises not to do it again.

I think MargP hit it when she mentioned bullying ... that's what it is, plain and simple. And now, with the internet and anti-social networking this bullying can be carried out online.
