Unemployment is at 90% on that rez, and 15 year olds are stealing cars and conducting gang warfare. It's probably the roughest reservation in BC.

Call me naiive but poverty alone cannot explain the deliberate cruelty and abuse of animals.

Boredom and not giving a damn will.

Exactly, and a lot of homeless people treat their pets well. It's a good thing they are friends with animals and stewards of the land or there might be cause for concern.

It's not poverty alone. It's the aberrant behaviours that stems from generations of poverty and lack of education. It builds over generations.

I would say poverty or boredom are definitely not the reason why someone would do this, mentally deranged would be the reasoning. No normal person does crap like this.

No normal person does crap like this.

That's pretty much a given.
