Not your reality certainly, and that is fine by me. I use those sources that have actually worked or studied in the area, rather than opine on something that I have little or no knowledge of.
As I cited previously, a CORI check would be conducted on those that wish to work/volunteer in the school system of Massachusetts would uncover a person who is an animal abuser. The reason why that is important and would serve society is:
see "Animal Cruelty and Psychiatric Disorders" Roman Gleyzer, MD, Alan R. Felthous, MD, and Charles E. Holzer III, PhD http://jaapl.org/content/30/2/257.full.pdf
If I had a school age child, a kindergartner, I would not want this person to be around the students. Word of mouth, a well intentioned comment will do little to reverse the effects of a person who should not be around a certain population of society.
So we throw all these people on a list because maybe they might do something more in the future, possibly. OK. And then you're going to use this list to do exactly what I said would be a downfall of this list. Single out and repress people based on your bigotries and assumptions. So someone acts out, maybe “abuses” an animal, gets on the list. Now what? All of a sudden here comes Connery charging down on his high horse that he somehow balanced on a soap box while charging, which is quite the feat. THAT GUY…HE CAN’T BE NEAR KIDS! Let’s restrict where they can live, let’s restrict where they can work, let’s flip out at every possible probability that has yet to develop because…well we ain’t got anything better to do apparently.
Whatever, you just want this list so you can figure out who to single out so you can throw your mud around. And you pretend that it’s somehow all “for the children”. Why…why does that excuse get used all the time when people want to expand government but know that what they call for is iffy at best?
