Animals can’t talk back or tell on you.

How you treat animals is a clear reflection of the kind of human you are.

I'm not trying to justify this guy's actions but a paranoid schizophrenic is one of the last people I'd trust to remember animals won't narc on you

I saw the YouTube video on this one. This guy is definitely schizophrenic/not right mentally. He just snapped one day and killed most of his family, they had a dog there that was also shot.

He admitted what he did right away and showed the police where the bodies were when they arrived.

Then this is what happened when they took him in. He was talking to nothing and hardly making sense before he broke through the wall.

Not excusing animal cruelty or anything he did based on his mental state but yeah guy was living in a different reality.

The worst part is that a meaningful part of the population can be triggered by severe stress, certain drugs, etc. into a full psychotic break with no previous history. Some people just go one day and never recover (or are never able to go without meds again). We don't even know how many people are predisposed to that since obviously some amount just never get triggered.

In this case it all happened at the same time. He had a psychotic episode and killed everyone in the household, including the family dog. Schizophrenia is a horrible illness.
