![https://www.animallaw.info/article/link-cruelty-animals-and-violence-towards-people
The link between animal abuse and violence towards people is supported by studies, which have shown that:
100% of sexual homicide offenders examined had a history of cruelty towards animals. [34]
70% of all animal abusers have committed at least one other criminal offense and almost 40% have committed violent crimes against people. [35]
63.3% of men who had committed crimes of aggression admitted to cruelty to animals. [36]
48% of rapists and 30% of child molesters reported committing animal abuse during childhood or adolescence. [37]
36% of assaultive women reported cruelty to animals while 0% of non-assaultive women did. [38]
25% of violent, incarcerated men reported higher rates of “substantial cruelty to animals” in childhood than a comparison group of non-incarcerated men (0%). [39]
Men who abused animals were five times more likely to have been arrested for violence towards humans, four times more likely to have committed property crimes, and three times more likely to have records for drug and disorderly conduct offenses.

![A. Serial Killers
Researchers consider a fascination with cruelty to animals as a red flag that may indicate that a person is a serial killer or rapist. [41] According to the deputy manager of animal cruelty issues for the Humane Society of the United States, Dale Bartlett, “…the research shows that most mass murderers and serial killers are likely to have animal cruelty in their background.” [42]
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) considers past animal abuse when profiling serial killers. [43] According to Robert K. Ressler, who developed profiles of serial killers for the FBI, “Murderers...very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids.” [44] FBI criminal profiler, John Douglas, writes in The Mind Hunter that serial offenders’ earliest acts of violence are often the torture and/or killing of pets or wildlife, then brutalizing younger siblings, and then finally engaging in domestic violence or street crime.
