More about Lucky, the tortured rabbit

Interesting opinion piece on the story of Lucky:

But [the rabbit's] story tells more about our society than the fact that we are rapidly becoming a throwaway culture, in which dogs, cats, rabbits and other animals are tossed away like an old sofa when their usefulness has diminished. It also should serve as a warning to the friends and family of people who so easily can turn on -- and inflict cruelty upon -- a family pet.

Humane educators, crime-prevention organizations and psychologists have for years known of the connection between the abuse of animals and violence toward humans. Cases of serial killers who started out their careers torturing animals have been well documented, and we see this especially among young killers, such as Columbine High shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold and other teen killers (Kip Kinkel, Andrew Golden, Luke Woodham and Michael Carneal). All of these boys tortured and mutilated animals before turning their guns on their classmates and teachers.
