^ Animal Cruelty is unfortunately linked with childhood abuse. I remember reading one Canadian study that examined 5 years worth of cases. In nearly 50% of all cases, the case workers personally observed an abused child harming an animal. It's usually something done to externalize the abuse, sort of repeating it on something weaker in an attempt to cope with the trauma.
