As we (in animal rights) know from endless examples in the past and present, animal killers often start out as such and then often transverse into human killers. What of the future ???
For examples:
Jeffrey Dahmer, the “Milwaukee cannibal” who dismembered 17 people three decades ago had first practised his butchery by cutting up dogs and cats and impaling their heads on sticks.
Ian Brady, the Moors murderer who tortured and killed five children in the 1960s, boasted of killing his first cat when he was just 10, and went on to burn another cat alive, stone dogs and cut off rabbits’ heads before going on to target people.
Robert Thompson and Jon Venables would shoot pigeons with air rifles and tie rabbits to railway lines to watch them be run over – until in 1993 they killed toddler James Bulger.
The links between early cruelty to animals and later violent and aggressive crime have been documented for decades, and suspected by some for even longer. But now academic research has uncovered wider chilling evidence of the psychological effect on children of witnessing cruelty to animals, and prompted widespread efforts to step in and halt those at risk of escalating the trauma by acting it out against both animals and people.
This week in the UK:
Cat killer Scarlet Blake found guilty of murdering Jorge Martin Carreno
Cat killer Scarlet Blake found guilty of murdering Jorge Martin Carreno – BBC News
Poor guy just out and minding his own business.
She had a “fixation with violence and with knowing what it would feel like to kill someone“, the jury was told.
But the court heard how she dissected it (the cat) and put it in a blender, taking “grotesque pleasure” in doing so.

Photo – Thames Valley Police – A video of the cat killing was so graphic that it could not be shown in court in an unedited form, but stills were shown of Blake smiling at the camera
Does the above photo not relate to something similar we published recently about cat torturers and killers ?? https://worldanimalsvoice.com/2024/01/09/china-cat-torture-major-information-and-actions-follow-up-no-2/ refers.
Blake, previously known as Alice Wang, had an “extreme interest in death and… harm” which “went beyond mere fantasy”, the court heard.
Others:
The Oxford Crown Court, where Blake’s trial is being held, heard that Blake had a “fixation with violence” and a “disturbing interest in what it would be like to harm a living creature.”
Blake was born in China and moved to the UK when she was nine. In 2021, when she committed the murders of a family cat and, four months later, a man, the 25-year-old was living in Crotch Crescent, Oxford.
According to the Sky News, Scarlet Blake went out with a crate, placing food in it, to lure in a family cat. Once a cat was caught in the crate, Blake picked it up and took it back home, where she killed it.
Blake had come up with the idea of killing a cat by taking inspiration from a Netflix documentary, titled Don’t F*** With Cats. In the show, Luka Magnotta kills kittens and films the murder while New Order’s True Faith plays in the background.
Scarlet Blake played the same song while live-streaming herself killing and then dissecting the cat, Sky News reported.
In the live stream video, Blake is seen removing the fur and skin of the dead animal, saying:
“Here we go my little friend. Oh boy, you smell like sh*t. I can’t wait to put you through the blender.“
Here are links to our (WAV) recent posts associated with the sick perverted people who undertake cat torture for pleasure using the dark web:
China: ‘Crush’ Information. – World Animals Voice

China: Cat Torture Actions Follow Up – No. 1 – World Animals Voice
China – Cat Torture – Major Information and Actions – Follow Up No. 2 – World Animals Voice
There are many links over decades which associate animal murderers then going on in life to murder humans or becoming serial killers, as we give in the link above.
With all these people requesting animal torture over the dark web, one has to question what society is becoming; and more importantly, what a danger to civilised society the people are becoming. Where will they stop ?, do they ever stop ?, it appears that some governments want to appear to be doing nothing to take against those who are an obvious threat to decent people.
I don’t have most of the answers, but I know for sure that this ‘infection’ is spreading when it should be eradicated by government action and legislation; and if necessary prosecutions and name shaming; and especially by the video companies who now make endless violent films and seem to literally get away with murder. These are the people who should be setting example; not the opposite !
The more this goes on the worse it will get.

It has been long thought that cruelty to animals is one of the earliest and most serious symptoms of conduct disorder, a childhood malady that is often a precursor to psychopathy. And, in fact, there is clear evidence that violent adults are more likely to have a history of animal abuse.
The “red flag” of childhood/teen animal cruelty may signal many things – a budding psychopath, a child abuse victim, or a witness to domestic violence or adult animal cruelty. Whatever the reason, though, this child is learning to use violence to get certain needs met and needs help. The longer it goes on, the harder it will be to stop.
