BBC uncovers a global network of sadistic monkey torturers (TW & CW - horrific descriptions)

Also, it’s possible to be both a victim and a victimiser. But the first of those doesn’t mitigate the second.
Of course.

But killing them solves nothing. A lengthy rehabilitation which may or may not turn their lives around is the option I'd go for.

The death penalty is archaic, and vengeful old testament style lashing out.

It solves one thing - they will no longer be a threat to those around them. The question I’d ask, if the rehabilitation route was chosen, is how exactly do you know if someone like that has been rehabilitated? What is the measure available to use?

We can strike parole boards off that list for a start. They’re just bureaucrats and administrators with too much power.

Regarding psychiatrists though, what specifically do they look for in ascertaining whether or not a person is rehabilitated? What evidence do they take into account? What psychological theory do they rely upon. There’s quite a lot of them to choose from.

I'm glad you realise that it's more nuanced and requires experience, expertise and attention than just offing the offenders to satisfy public lust.

What do they look for, you ask. I imagine they look for evidence of rehabilitation. Sorrow, remorse, regret, repugnance at their actions. As for theory, am not a therapist. Am sure someone qualified could give you the answers you seek.
 
just send 'em to the same place as lawyers, telephone sanitisers and hairdressers [as per a certain Hitch-hiker's Guide]

As long as we can make room for football pundits, x-factor judges, and that creepy-smiled space fella on telly that sung Things Can Only Get Better.

How far those released might end up from where they live…
 
My views are open for anyone to read. That's about as honest as you can get. I won't be responding to your posts anymore, as you've been following me round wherever I go and it's getting rather tiresome.

Yeah, you keep on being you.

It takes only a few minutes to see exactly where you at, "Burt".

Good luck.
 
2 years is a ridiculous sentence and does not reflect the danger and sickness presented by people who purposefully abuse animals to enjoy their pain and suffering. I don't know if such people can be rehabilitated, but either way they should definitely be placed at a remove from society.
