As this killer develops he will get more sophisticated and harder to catch. The best chance they have at saving human lives is by catching this bastard now before he gets better at being invisible.

I tend to agree with BD. Your typical serial killer/mass murderer at times started out as a youngster killing and torturing animals. Not to mention the implied terroristic threat.

If I came up to you every day and said "I am going to beat you to a bloody pulp." you would be able to go to the police and have me arrested for threatening you. This is essentially the same thing, not to mention whatever other laws may have been broken concerning the ASPCA.

Of course they should look into for the sake of the girl whose dog was killed. But if it had just been a beheaded dog found somewhere, I would leave it alone.

But the fact is, it WASNT just some random dog head...It belonged to the girl and it was put on her doorstep. Thats not randomness. That was meticulously planned.

Why do animals get so much attention when human beings are murdered every day?

When I look at comments like yours and "I like guns" I sometimes think that maybe we should spend more time looking after the real animals and less on the two legged variety. The real animals are more worthy of the attention.

Jesus Christ. That's just cruel that the person did to the girl's dog.

I think I recall reading that killing animals was one of young Jeffery Dahmer's pastimes.

^^^ And THAT'S why we put effort into the case.

Like I said this case has some pretty classic signs of the young serial killer's developmental process.

I'm sure you'd love it if someone killed your family and a slain dog got more time from the police, senojekips.

You didn't get it did you?
