Cruelty to animals then, remorseless towards human suffering now
Psychiatric research tells us that a sign of a future serial killer is a child who delights in torturing and killing animals. Such individuals lack the emotions that make us human, but many learn to emulate those emotions in order to get by in society.
In May, 2000, the New York Times writer Nicholas D. Kristof quoted George W. Bush's childhood friend Terry Throckmorton: "'We were terrible to animals,' recalled Mr. Throckmorton, laughing. A dip behind the Bush home turned into a small lake after a good rain, and thousands of frogs would come out. 'Everybody would get BB guns and shoot them,' Mr. Throckmorton said. 'Or we'd put firecrackers in the frogs and throw them and blow them up.'
