actually, i have seen studies that many violent criminals lack the ability to feel empathy for others. doesn't mean that everyone who lacks those sensitivities will become a criminal tho. but there is a correlation between violence to animals leading to violence against humans. i doubt vick feels any more empathy for a woman yelling at him than at a dog in pain, wonder if he smacks his girls around too?
