Heartless teenager steals and kills pet parrot.

According to the broken windows theory, if small crimes are tolerated in a society, bigger and more serious crimes manifest proportionately. People don't realize that societies with high rates of homicide usually have less compassion for their animals, at least as far as the perpetrators are concerned. If there is any compassion, it would be towards an end. One of the best strategies to have conscientious people who care for their animals is to train or show them how to be compassionate to animals from a young age. I usually recoil at the sight of parents watching passively as their tots practice martial and corporal skills on adoring pets and think that its a harmless pastime which is just the beginning of this sadistic tendency to afflict animals. But I wonder, whats the legality of these animal fights? Such statutes that legalise such activities are grotesque and good willing citizens should fight for their abolition. Animal rights activists also stand accused for becoming a silent minority which further worsens the issue of animal torture.
