You are screwed up in the damn head if this makes you happy. They need to spend the time and money to get the sex offender registry working right and actually protecting our kids before they do some dumb shit like this.

Sure, I maybe "screwed up in the damn head" but they may be because I'm also someone who was abused as a child & can tell you that there ISN'T much of a difference between people who abuse animals & abuse kids. Also, it a FACT that MANY of these people START with animals & MOVE UP to people.

Really good example, Jeffery Dahmer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeffrey_Dahmer

So many things wrong with this, just like there are so many things wrong with the sex offender registry. Why should an 18 year old guy who had consentual sex with a 17 year old girl be in the same group as 40 year old pedophiles, just as a person who may have matched a few dogs doesn't need to be in the same category as some sicko who gets off on burning cats alive...

I really do agree that the sex offender laws are messed up! But what looks hopeful with this is that the Texas Veterinary Medical Association is working with them on this law. And it's not just some "Law Maker" that's doesn't have a good understanding on owning different breeds of animals.

"A predator is a predator, if it's against a human or it's against an animal," said Alexander. IMHO those are the ramblings of a radical idiot.I'll be sure to be against the Rockets from here on out.

Really?? It's a well documented FACT that MANY Serial Killers STARTED OUT on animals. I can tell you FIRST HAND as someone who was abused, that animals where NOT exclude from violence.

We all agree that it would be GREAT to STOP child abusers BEFORE they start.

This maybe a way to "flag" these people BEFORE they move up to children.

Can any parent tell me that they would be OKAY with living next door to the guy: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ffocation.html ?

There is a pretty good chance that this ISN'T the first time that guy has done something like that. And I'm willing to BET that is just a "Warm Up" for bigger things.

This pisses me off. In what sort of mentally ill,deranged head does abusing animals(anything you do today is considered cruelty) equate to being a child molester or the crime being even in the same league. I think it shows the shit state things are in that children are protected only to the same level as dogs are.

I don't have kids but I would be going nuts if I did if someone decided that instead of protecting my kid,a human,they were putting laws in place so that some puppy,a dog,wouldn't be tied up or some other bullshit.

I'm a parent & a pet owner and can tell you that they have ALLOT in common.

They are both completely helpless & dependent on their care givers. They both will love you no matter what you may have done wrong.

All sick predators started out somewhere, that most of the time that's with animals.
