Cruelty to animals leads to greater acts of evil

A 12-year-old boy in Cannons Creek recently rescued a dog from being held down, kicked and hit with a cricket bat.

In her weekly column, Rosemary McLeod reflects on what is likely to happen later in life to young people who are cruel to animals.

McLeod contends that cruelty to animals “as a child is the first step towards a life of causing harm”, and that we “shouldn’t believe we can do nothing when it happens”.
