家园 2001年美国司法部青少年犯罪防止办公室发布过一份报告

总结了虐待动物和暴力犯罪之间关系的研究成果。研究显示,青少年时期虐待动物,不加以制止的话,发展成为暴力犯罪的倾向极大。社会成员反感残忍对待动物的人,动物保护主义者反对虐待动物,是理性行为,是为了社会稳定和自身安危。赵“教授”有意无意地忽视了这一点,才是最大的非理性。

节选如下

虐待动物和暴力犯罪

虐待动物和暴力犯罪有着共同的特征:受害者都是由生命的,都能感受到痛苦,都能表现出的痛苦的生理现象(可能引起人类同情),都会因为被伤害而死去。由于这些共性,研究者们很自然地研究虐待动物和暴力犯罪之间有没有关系。

Kellert and Felthous (1985)发现因在他们调查的暴力犯罪者中,25%的人在儿童时代曾虐待动物,而在他们调查的非暴力犯罪者中,这一比例是0%。在另一个研究中,(Felthous and Yudowitz, 1977)发现,在暴力犯罪的女性中,36%的人曾在青少年时期残忍地对待动物,而在非暴力犯罪的女性中,这个比例是0%。

Schiff, Louw, and Ascione (1999)调查了117个南非监狱的罪犯。在58个暴力犯罪者中,63.3%的人承认对动物有残忍行为。在59各非暴力犯罪者中,这个比例是10.5%。

Ressler, Burgess, and Douglas (1988)调查了28个强奸杀人犯,36%的人的在儿童时代对动物有残忍行为,46%的人在青少年时代虐待动物,36%的人在成年后依然虐待动物。

Tingle et al. (1986)调查了64个男性犯罪者,48%的强奸犯和30%的儿童猥亵犯曾在儿童时代或青少年时代虐待动物。

总的来说,研究表明,四分之一到三分之二的暴力犯罪者曾在青少年时期虐待动物。

Animal Abuse and Violent Offending

Animal abuse and interpersonal violence toward humans share common characteristics: both types of victims are living creatures, have a capacity for experiencing pain and distress, can display physical signs of their pain and distress (with which humans could empathize), and may die as a result of inflicted injuries. Given these commonalities, it is not surprising that early research in this area, much of it using retrospective assessment, examined the relation between childhood histories of animal abuse and later violent offending.

Kellert and Felthous (1985) found that violent,

incarcerated men reported higher rates of “substantial cruelty to animals” in childhood (25 percent) than a comparison group of nonincarcerated men (0 percent). A similar difference emerged in a study of assaultive and nonassaultive women offenders (Felthous and Yudowitz, 1977): 36 percent of the former group reported cruelty to animals compared with 0 percent of the latter.

More recently, Schiff, Louw, and Ascione (1999) surveyed 117 men incarcerated in a South African prison about their childhood animal abuse. Of the 58 men who had committed crimes of aggression, 63.3 percent admitted to cruelty to animals; of the 59

nonaggressive inmates, the percentage was 10.5 percent.

In a study of 28 convicted, incarcerated sexual homicide perpetrators (all men),Ressler, Burgess, and Douglas (1988) assessed the men’s self-reports of cruelty to animals in childhood and adolescence.

Childhood animal abuse was reported by 36 percent of the perpetrators, and 46 percent admitted to abusing animals as adolescents.Thirty-six percent of these men said they had also abused animals in adulthood.

In a study by Tingle et al. (1986) of 64 convicted male sex offenders, animal abuse in childhood or adolescence was reported by 48 percent of the rapists and 30 percent of the child molesters.

Taken together, these studies suggest that animal abuse may be characteristic of the developmental histories of between one in four and nearly two in three violent adult offenders.
