This has everything to do with the law. If this guy has a pattern of this type of behavior, that would be quite relevant to the case and that is why patterns of behavior are usually admissible in court.

By the way, not all cases of cruelty to animals involve intentional cruelty. Some of the cases simply involve such gross negligence that it rises to the level of cruelty under the law. I've seen a number of these cases on the news over the years. I would put this case in that category.
