This man is cruel and abusive. I hope he is NEVER around animals or children. There is a direct correlation between animal abuse and child abuse. He needs a warning label to warn people that he enjoys cruelty and he needs to be avoided.
It is very rare that someone as cruel as Chris Grant changes their behavior. You could beat him until he died and it would not change the pleasure he gets from hurting animals and others.
This type of methodical cruelty is a frightening part of who he is. Unfortunately the law doesn't go far enough to protect animals. It barely goes far enough to protect children. The people of New York need to strengthen the laws protecting animals and make sure the penalty has enough teeth to be a deterrent. Most of the time it doesn't matter because the pleasure they get from hurting those weaker than they over powers the part of their brain that puts on the brakes. With State budget cuts and overcrowded prisons he will be a momentary blip on the judicial radar.
He is hopeless and needs to be isolated on a desert island with others as cruel as he.
