Thoughts of a Flying Sheep

Sorry for not adding to the hype about this, I only saw this in passing, and I'd like to comment on it in vague general terms.

I read yesterday that an accused murderer had a tough childhood. Apparently, he tortured one or more of his pets, and his mom beat him. The order of these things is, I think, important - if you saw your kid torturing an animal, wouldn't you smack him or her around a bit? On the other hand, if you are beaten without reason by your parents, then maybe you'll take it out on your pets. But those are two different stories.
