  Juvenile Justice Bulletin -- September 2001 -- Animal Abuse and Youth Violence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Animal abuse and interpersonal violence toward humans share common characteristics: both types of victims are living creatures, have a capacity for experiencing pain and distress, can display physical signs of their pain and distress (with which humans could empathize), and may die as a result of inflicted injuries.
Childhood animal abuse was reported by 36 percent of the perpetrators, and 46 percent admitted to abusing animals as adolescents.
(1986) of 64 convicted male sex offenders, animal abuse in childhood or adolescence was reported by 48 percent of the rapists and 30 percent of the child molesters.

 Juvenile Dentistry
Though this may be of no functional significance to the animal (depending on which tooth is missing), some breed standards require a full set of teeth, and so the breeder should be informed of this developmental abnormality.
For these animals and for those that are not being neutered, plan on doing a thorough oral examination at six months of age with the patient awake.
The younger the animal, the larger the pulp and the more forgiving it is, so in animals under a year of age a delay of 48, or even 72 hours, is often acceptable.

 Society&Animal Forum - Society & Animals Journal
Those juveniles who had engaged in sex with animals were similar to other sex offenders in that they also came from families with less affirming and more incendiary communication, lower attachment, less adaptability, and less positive environments.
This would seem to indicate that sex with animals may be an important indicator of potential or co-occurring sex offenses against humans and may be a sign of severe family dysfunction and abuse that should be addressed in the arenas of psychological intervention, juvenile justice programs, and public policy.
No information was solicited from the juveniles that would explain what their relationships were with these animalsC companion animals, stray animals, animals on the farm, animals in the wildC or what the sex acts meant to them at the time they committed these acts.

 Juveniles and Animal Abuse
Too often, we hear: "boys will be boys" or "it's just a dumb animal." However, experts agree that if these at-risk juveniles receive appropriate penalties and treatment as a consequence of their violent actions against animals, they stand a better chance of breaking out of the cycle of violence.
We also recognize that these juveniles (many of whom have been the victims of violence themselves) may benefit from psychological treatment.
We must teach children from the youngest ages that animals are deserving of humane treatment.

 Juvenile Justice Bulletin -- September 2001 -- Animal Abuse and Youth Violence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Although legal definitions of animal abuse vary, it is a crime in every State, and many States have enacted laws establishing certain forms of cruelty to animals as felony offenses.
The forms of abuse to which animals may be subjected are similar to the forms of abuse children experience, including physical abuse, serious neglect, and even psychological abuse.
Particular attention is focused on the prevalence of cruelty to animals by children and adolescents and to the role of animal abuse as a possible symptom of conduct disorder.

 Desecrating the Ark: Animal Abuse and Law's Role in Prevention
Animals came to be regarded as being worthy of some legal protection, either because their interests were intertwined with human interests or because they had interests equal to those of human beings.
Given the probable link between juvenile animal abuse and the commission of later violent crimes by the same offenders as adults, [FN171] it is incumbent upon legislatures and judges to develop and employ screening and treatment devices that may reduce recidivism rates and the progression of juvenile offenders to more violent criminal acts.
If juveniles have abused animals because of their inability to care for them properly--e.g., because of lack of resources or lack of knowledge, this deficiency may be remedied through training, financial assistance, and/or removal of animals from the home.

 AR.net >> Discussion Forum >> Juvenile Justice Bill Targets Animal Rights Violence   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The language to strengthen the AEA penalties was introduced by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) as part of an amendment co-sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) and approved by an 85 to 13 margin.
Opponents of animal rights should use the visibility created by the recent attack at the University of Minnesota to push Congress to pass Hatch's amendment in its own right or attached to some other less controversial piece of legislation.
Some of the animal rights bomb making material found on places such as the Animal Liberation Front Information Site may itself be actionable in a civil lawsuit, but Feinstein's blanket ban is just the latest manifestation of her anti-Internet hysteria and would never pass muster with the Supreme Court.
