" This is the slogan for PETA, People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals. There are many reasons why the government should enforce stricter laws and punishments for animal abusers. Animal abuse doesn’t only hurt the animals, but it also shows signs of future violence towards humans. Criminals convicted of abusing animals often receive only a small fine, are put on probation or receive some equally ineffective punishment. This causes a false belief that it’s not that bad to kill or torture an animal. Albert DeSalvo, Theodore Bundy, David Brekowitz and Jefferey Dahmer are all serial killers who had abused animals. Dahmer’s neighbors saw cut up animals, frogs and cats staked to trees, and a mutilated body of a dog. When he was a kid Dahmer would strip the skin off animals with acid. Dahmer admitted to killing 17 people. In their report, Childhood Cruelty Towards Animals Among Criminals and Noncriminals, Stephen R. Kellert and Alan R.
