The allegations horrified the animal rescue group Pasado's Safe Haven. "It's one of the worst imaginable deaths," says Susan Michaels of
Pasado's Safe Haven. "It's a prolonged death. It first attacks the
central nervous system. They start losing balance. They fall. They
froth at the mouth. Their eyesight goes. They're confused. They're
scared. The owner had them euthanized because that was the kindest
thing to do for them."
Active cruelty implies malicious intent, where a person has
deliberately and intentionally caused harm to an animal. Acts of active
cruelty are often some of the most disturbing and should be considered
signs of serious psychological problems. This type of behavior is often
associated with sociopathic behavior and should be taken very seriously.
Animal abuse in violent homes can take many forms and can occur for
many reasons. Many times a parent or domestic partner who is abusive
may kill, or threaten to kill, the household pets to intimidate family
members into sexual abuse, to remain silent about previous or current
abuse, or simply to psychologically torture them, flexing their
power.
It has been proven over and over. Statistical data, case
studies, psychologists, and even FBI Profilers show us the connection
over
and over again, and yet animal abuse crimes are not given nearly the
weight
that human crimes are given. Animal abuse clearly illustrates a lack of
empathy for the suffering of others, which is a signficant
characteristic of sociopathic personalities.
We petition for psychological testing and counseling and Clark's conviction on three felony counts of animal cruelty and the maximum sentence with jail time and that she not be able to possess animals.
