Unfortunately, this kind of thing is a warning sign about psychopaths and wack jobs. Animal abuse and cruelty is just the start.Originally Posted by shepgirl
The most prominent symptoms of a Psychopath is antisocial behavior, having no conscience, being highly manipulative, being a fluent and convincing liar and being superficially charming. Psychopath's are thrill seekers who view others as fodder for exploitation. Among the first signs that someone is a Psychopath is cruelty to animals in childhood but there are other warning signs, such as violence to other people, often younger children or girls or individuals with disabilities, but to individuals in general, which often appears as motiveless, or has little motive behind it, along with damage to and/or theft of property. Someone can't be diagnosed as a Psychopath before 18 years of age but there is usually evidence of Conduct Disorder before that age. Not all people with this become Psychopaths, but most do.
