"Boy, 13, rescues cat from hanging
Teens face animal cruelty charges"

---------------------------------------------
Two minor-aged abusers [believed to be brothers] are following in the footsteps of Jeffrey Dahmer -- first torture cats and other small animals as teens and continue on to become serial killers.

These two should NOT have been released into the custody of their parents – where parental guidance and care is, apparently, suspect.

The 13 year-old boy who rescued the cat is a hero to the cat -- and to me. Canadians do not tolerate the torture of animals and many of us want The Government of Canada to enact tough animal protection laws. Existing animal protection law in Canada does not address just punishment for abusers who torture and kill animals.

Will we read a few years from now that one or both of these two boys -- now 16 and 14 years old -- are serial killers?

In case people have forgotten Jeffrey Dahmer, here is a list of his known human victims:

Jun 1978 - Stephen Hicks
Sep 1987 - Steven Toumi
Oct 1987 - Jamie Doxtator
Mar 1988 - Richard Guerrero
Feb 1989 - Anthony Sears
Jun 1990 - Eddie Smith
Jul 1990 - Ricky Beeks
Sep 1990 - Ernest Miller
Sep 1990 - David Thomas
Feb 1991 - Curtis Straughter
Apr 1991 - Errol Lindsey
May 1991 - Tony Hughes
May 1991 - Konerak Sinthasomphone
Jun 1991 - Matt Turner
Jul 1991 - Jeremiah Weinberger
Jul 1991 - Oliver Lacy
Jul 1991 - Joseph Bradeholt

Dahmer’s career began years earlier with the abuse, torture and murder of small animals – typical patten of most serial killers.
