Animal cruelty…what shall we do?

Animal Cruelty…What Shall We Do?

Can compassion be learned or is it innate? Is lack of compassion that results in animal suffering the result of mental illness? When neglect occurs because of economic hardship, should it be excused? When cultural traditions result in acts of cruelty, are they to be tolerated? When low IQ means the perpetrator does not comprehend animal suffering, shall it be allowed to continue?

The bottom line for animal advocates is what the animal experiences. Animals don’t care if its psychopathy or poverty or stupidity or ritual that’s causing them pain, they just know they’re hurting.

Whether there are circumstantial or cultural reasons for abusive behavior both are hard to understand, devastating for the victims and taxing for the community.

As explained in other articles, when you see something or hear about something that is horrifying beyond belief, you are likely hearing about the work of someone who is organically brain damaged, that is, someone whose brain does not function normally. That brain damage may result in very low IQ or it may result in very high malice.

In the latter case, psychologists call them psychopaths, theologists call them possessed. In the early days of psychological research this condition was called “moral insanity.” More important than the label is the impact that these people have on living beings in their environment. The psychopathic (possessed) do not have a conscience. They cannot love, they do not feel compassion. Instead, they have an inordinately strong drive to control and destroy. The nature of their derangement causes them to get off on seeing others in pain rather than feel compassion for them.

There are two kinds:

• Primary psychopaths do the damage and cause suffering
• Secondary psychopaths know about it, but do nothing to stop it

How can we make progress as a civilized society when there is rampant abuse of all kinds in every segment of the population? Shall we tolerate extreme animal abuse when it is due to socioeconomic hardship, intellectual deficit or cultural heritage?

The Rescuers and Warriors

Animal advocates do not indulge in this kind of thinking. They have thrown their hearts over the fence and are out in the field tending to the victims. They work to lessen the suffering  so that the rest of us don’t have to see it. It is back breaking, heart rending, mind bending work. It is cleaning up after and compensating for those who, directly or indirectly and by whatever deficit, perpetuate the suffering of animals through abuse or neglect.

In places where animals suffer, some things are done out in the open, like neglecting to feed and neuter; while other things are done in secret, like fighting and bestial rape. This tells us some things about the consciousness of the perpetrators, but it is not the whole story.

What shall we do?

The red flags around animal cruelty

The Red Flags Around Animal Cruelty

If there’s one thing missing from most of the exposition on the subject of cruelty to animals, it’s the link to psychopathy. This is evident from both the content of the articles and the comments of the readers. If we were serious about halting evil, we would make animal cruelty a flashpoint.

It’s apparent that most elected representatives remain largely unmoved by issues relating to animals. This is obvious by the laws they write, the sentences they pass and their gross insensibility to public outcry. Things speak for themselves.

The US Congress, which has an approval rating in the single digits, has shown itself to be completely impotent. Their moral turpitude has become so egregious that it can only be due to blackmail, bribery and threat.

Individuals don’t get appointed or elected to office by being stupid. They get put in office by being corruptible.

It’s my understanding that the controllers use the age-old threat of killing or maiming children and spouse to compel obedience.

Recent Cases

The Backyard Butcher in Florida has been sentenced to 90 days in jail. He’s been fined and told not to go near livestock. His wife is pregnant, the next generation is on the way.

This man may or may not be a psychopath. To our sensibilities, his methods are cruel and inhumane, but in many cultures, they are the norm. He may be mentally deficient.

The psychopath is insensible to the feelings–emotional and physical–of others. The psychopath also considers himself or herself above the law.

This is why big wheels think they can do whatever they want without consequence.

In the mind of the psychopath, laws and rules do not apply to them, they apply to “little people” as bankers like to call us.

The psychopath may make a show of flaunting authority and social norms, or he or she may do it behind the scenes.

Last May, 19-year old Sean Deakin confined his dog, Tyson, in the bathroom and bashed his head in with hammer blows.

The dog was horrifically injured but still alive. Deakin left him lying on the bathroom floor and went out of the house for a few hours. When he came back the dog tried to flee from him. He cornered Tyson, this time in the kitchen and stabbed him with a butcher knife. This final attack would ultimately prove fatal but it took the dog eight hours to die. His girlfriend, Sarah Tame was present, but did nothing. They have a child together, who was presumably in the house during the day-long torture of Tyson.

Violence begets violence. The next generation of the deranged is molded by this kind of exposure.

The psychopath feeds on suffering. He or she gets off on knowing that they have exerted inescapable control and inflicted great pain on their victims.

If Deakin had not been caught, he would commit more callous and cruel acts over time. When he gets out of jail in 10 weeks, he will carry on despite the judge’s decree that he not own an animal for 10 years. He will also continue to abuse his child and girlfriend. The child will either grow up to be prey or predator, depending on their gender.

When torturing animals no longer satisfies him, he will begin his search for a new victim class. That is the nature of organic brain damage. It gets worse over time and requires more to be satiated. The psychopath is insatiable and unstoppable.

In Virginia, a 17-year old used his 22-inch machete to slash three horses, two goats, a calf and a chicken.

In Nevada, two 16-year olds were caught drowning newborn kittens by a neighbor.

Ad nauseum. The deranged we call psychopathic are formed primarily by genetics and early childhood. Whenever minors are caught abusing animals or other children, look to the parents.

We don’t have to rely on opinion about psychopathy. It can be determined by a brain scan. The reactive and structural abnormalities of the psychopathic brain can be scanned as clearly as an organ tumor or bone fracture.

When society becomes serious about removing human evil, the psychopath can be removed before he or she has tortured animals or other people, not after.

Even though the topic of psychopathy is slowly getting more attention, it hasn’t reached its tipping point. When it does, things will change. But until then, animal cruelty will continue to proliferate.

Rodeo red flags

Rodeo Red Flags

Update: Coverage on CNN.

I grew up in places where rodeos took place, but my family never went to them. We beach-combed, boated, camped and did other things outdoors. When I finally did see a rodeo a few years ago, it didn’t much interest me and some of it repulsed me. I looked around at the people in the stands. Some of them were hooping and hollering in apparent approval of what was going on in the arena. I remember having the thought that they were not so different from the people who had sat in stands in ancient Rome and cheered as wild animals were set upon each other and human beings.

For some of us, it is mind-bending that there are human beings who enjoy watching animals made to “perform” rituals in which they get hurt or killed. Bull fighting, dog fighting, calf roping, horse tripping are some examples.

This article came across my desk yesterday morning: Donkey roping.

The nature of animals is such that they are easily dominated mentally, just like children. How is it sporting to subject them to inescapable situations in which they’re going to get bitten, gored, broken, burned or ripped limb from limb? And we all know what happens to the vast majority of injured livestock …

Van Horn, Texas is holding a rodeo next weekend:

Will there be someone sitting in the stands with a video camera filming the repeated roping, throwing and dragging of a 50-70 pound donkey by a 200-pound man on a 1200-1500-pound horse? And will it create the sensation of the undercover video that has unleashed hell on the Tennessee Walking Horse industry and Tennessee tourism?

Animal cruelty, like violence towards people, demonstrates a hierarchy of dangerous traits. In the extreme, it is a hallmark of the irreparable brain damage that some call psychopathy and others call possession. It is not something to be ignored, minimized or tolerated. The mainstream mantra of tolerance has infected the masses, but there are many of us who can think for ourselves and we know that what you tolerate increases.

If You Want to Do Something

The red flags around Luka Rocco Magnotta

The Red Flags Around Luka Rocco Magnotta

The root cause of the worst suffering in the world comes almost exclusively from the activities of brain-damaged humans. Their condition is clinically identified as psychopathy. Their traits all have one thing in common: lack of conscience.

This case developing around Luka Rocco Magnotta illustrates some important touchstones about the bizarre world these predators inhabit.

From video-taped evidence (the veracity of which has not been, but could be impugned) it appears Magnotta has most recently:

• tortured and killed animals
• murdered a male college student
• committed numerous pathological acts with a corpse

According to him, his adult life has revolved around modeling and pornography. Other information suggests Magnotta periodically searched for fame and spent more time running cons than modeling or acting in pornographic films. A relative described Magnotta to the Peterborough Examiner as “a ticking time bomb” and described him as “a nut job” that she did not trust.

She described him as being dishonest with others and deluded about himself. It’s been discovered that he was charged with fraud and sexual assault a few years ago. He plead guilty even though the charge was dropped, and received a short conditional sentence.

The connecting dots between Luka Rocco Magnotta and psychopathy (from Dr Robert Hare’s “Psychopathy Checklist“) so far include these:

• delusions of grandeur
• pathological lying
• conning
• remorselessness
• shallowness
• lack of empathy
• poor behavioral controls
• promiscuous sexuality
• lack of long-term goals
• criminal versatility

It should be noted that the rate of recidivism for most forms of psychopathy (hard-core addicts, pedophiles, animal torturers, serial rapists, sexual sadists) is close to 100 percent. This fact underscores the irreparable nature of their brain damage.

A working knowledge of the hallmarks of psychopathy is the best defense against financial fraud, professional sabotage, domestic violence, child abuse, animal cruelty and other wastes.

More as the story develops.

Monsters (part 3)

So, with the exception of individuals who are rendered psychopathic by a head injury, abusers are the product of abuse.

Abuse is a response to anxiety that individuals without normal brains and normal coping skills descend into. This applies to the abuse of self as well as the abuse of others. When these deranged and disturbed individuals get provoked, they abuse. Most of them grew up in families where they regularly witnessed the use of deceit, lies, manipulation and even violence to produce desired outcomes.

Ted Bundy attributed his psychopathy to family violence and to an addiction to pornography, much of which has become sex-based snuff.

This experience does several things to the developing brain of a very young child:

• It creates synapses of lying and cheating into the brain as the primary reality. In extreme cases, it alters brain chemistry to the point that frontal and/or temporal lobe function becomes deranged.
• It  impresses the processes of deception and gratification into behavior. There is no right and wrong, there is only doing whatever it takes to get what is wanted. This is operating without conscience.
• It removes emotion from the pursuit of gratification so that inflicting pain, creating injustice, causing loss is unacknowledged. The abuser operates with abandon and in denial, eventually deriving enjoyment from others’ suffering.

When early traumas are prolonged and severe enough to cause brain damage, that damage has two hallmarks: it is permanent and it gets worse over time. This means that the brain-damaged child can be perceived by those who understand this phenomenon. It also means that the crimes the abuser commits will get steadily worse over time.

After the age of five, the child cannot be helped, that is, the window for remedial intervention is closed. However, he or she can be watched for the first signs of dangerous anti-social behavior. Every household with an abusive parent can produce these brain-damaged children who grow up to do the same or worse to their own families, co-workers, etc. Bullying, delinquency, substance abuse, cruelty to animals, promiscuity, recklessness and use of pornography are all early signs of the developing perpetrator.

The ranks of animal abusers, pedophiles, hopeless addicts and gamblers, sadists, serial killers and rapists as well as wife beaters are filled with these monsters. This is how the cycle continues and the circle enlarges. This is the reality and the tragedy of the cancer of having psychopaths loose in society.

Horse slaughter and its consequences

Within the last 24 hours, a little town in Missouri said “no” to the installation of a horse slaughter plant. The two most vocal proponents of the plant were denounced for misleading the media and the public about what was really at hand. Their central argument is based on slaughter being the most efficient method of dealing with unwanted horses.

Horses going into the kill chute

What proponents fail to disclose is that even though the industry will be underwritten with tax dollars, the meat will be shipped overseas, mostly to the middle east and far east, where companion animals are routinely butchered for food as well as for ritual.

A critical point that is rarely discussed is the suffering of the horses, who are handled like cows. Horses are not cows. They have a profoundly different disposition and different physiology. So, what may not terrify a cow terrifies a horse, whose final moments would make the most satanic horror film pale in comparison.

Statistically, it’s been shown that slaughterhouses bring in undesirables whose contributions to host communities include robbery, rape, murder, assault and more.

Of course, it was good to hear that Mountain Grove declined to participate in this little bit of the third world, but at the same time, it’s disappointing that its objections were more practical than moral. A civilized person euthanizes or rehomes a horse they can no longer care for. This is called accountability and integrity.

The purveyors of horse slaughter and other horrors will never get it. Appeals to conscience will continue to fall on deaf ears because they have none. They are driven to gratify themselves by controlling and destroying their victims. That’s what we’re watching unfold. If you frustrate them enough, they’ll explode…

Animal research

Whilst reading about horse slaughter, I stumbled upon a photograph of the CEO of the self-proclaimed oldest animal research facility in the world, Huntington Life Sciences.

Andrew Baker, CEO, Huntington Life? Sciences
where 500 animals a day are "tested" to death

I then looked up the company and read their website. Their marketing and public relations effort consists of identifying themselves as the lesser of two other evils: the slaughtering of animals for food and the killing of unwanted pets.

Animal research or vivisection is a jackal trade. It is opportunistic predation. The wolves behind this atrocity are the lawyers and the medical-pharmaceutical cartel. They are the ones who haul the animal down, so to speak.

Animal “research” is an oxymoron. Universities and businesses do it because it brings in dollars and because enough people are swayed by the much vaunted “benefits to people” slogans used. If the real scientific value were known, these jackals would be run out of business and then chased out of town.

To give you an understanding of how lawyers fit into this, read up on LD50 product testing. That will give you a glimpse of the mentality behind product testing and the lawyers who cooked it up. I wonder how lawyer’s children would react if they were taken through the labs where their parents’ protocols were being implemented.

Like slaughterhouses, animal research labs are psychopathic manufacturing plants. Some workers can’t take it and leave immediately. Others are turned into monsters.

I’ve been inside “research” labs, so I have firsthand knowledge. Of the “experiments” that were explained to me, all were so grotesque or bizarre, that I didn’t know whether to laugh or scream. These places get millions of dollars for doing the most painful and inane things to innocent animals. It is sick and sickening. And it goes on because the public simply doesn’t comprehend its reality.

The very least we can do is identify the people who work in these places and ostracize them to the fullest. When reckoning day comes, there will be hell to pay. I trust they will all get a taste of their own “medicine”.
