I do because it's been documented that people who abuse people started by abusing animals. I don't know how the jump is made in their minds from an animal to a human. I don't really understand the psychodynamics going on there. I would imagine if the abuse was severe enough, the victim could easily become hardened and be abusive without even realizing it. There should always be help available for those who want to/can change. While I don't speak from a professional standpoint, it seems all abusers were at one time abused themselves. It's a cycle that just gets repeated. I do believe there are some unable to change though.

Do you believe in capital punishment for abusers who do not kill their victims?

With the laws we currently have in place - yes. This because some crimes are just so brutal, so horrific that even though the victim lives what was done to them/the damage they are left to deal with is so much worse than that what the evidence seems to indicate someone cleanly, simply, swiftly killed suffered at the hands of their attacker and yet the law allows for the straight forward murderer's execution.

If you had to be a hideous creature/monstor from Greek or Roman mythology which one would you choose to be?

Chimera because he's fire-breathing. If you've got to be hideous, at least you can breathe fire, something cool.

If you could be anyone else in history, who would it be and why?
