You are overlooking the fact that killing animals, though reflective of a malicious mind as you say, is still not the killing of people.
Similarly, thinking about torturing and killing people is not murder either though equally reflective of a sick mind.

I was expressing an opinion - and that opinion is that malicious killing of animals is on the path to murder of humans. True, some of those who start on that path never get all the way to the end, but I believe they *are* on the path and should be treated in the eyes of the law accordingly. We have degrees of seriousness for murder, and I believe that animal abuse should be included in that category of crime.
