Abstract :
Editorial: Unfortunately, all forms of violence, including animal abuse, have risen in recent years in Iran. Sometimes, we see videos published in cyberspace in which people try to torture and kill various animals, including dogs and cats. Animal abuse, especially in childhood and adolescence, is one of the symptoms of conduct disorder that can predict antisocial personality disorder in adulthood. Research has shown that most criminals enjoy harassing animals in childhood.
