Are We a Nation of Sociopaths?
Comments by Clarence Widerburg - 15 Dec 2010

As a social worker, I have seen a strong link between animal abuse and child abuse and domestic violence.

I also believe that individuals become desensitized to suffering of others, both human and non-human animal suffering, when they buy ...animals that are raised in abusive situations. This results in not feeling for others, especially if they are different from others.

And this desensitization happens in our advertizing, such as when we buy the "happy" KFC chicken or "happy egg".
