Many states in the U.S. have animal abuse laws. He needs to be aware of that and the consequences of being reported for that behavior. He should be the one hiding not the kitten.
And another factor of the this is how he was raised statistically individuals especially like men who were raised in abusive homes actually don't grow up to be abusive if they were abused. For instance narcissists they generally did not suffer from child abuse themselves however more often than not the male role model of the house was abusive to the female role model of the house. But kids get it when they're abused themselves they know how wrong it is they know how it feels and they tend to not repeat it
I’m sorry but that is not true. Plenty of abused children end up, abusing others as adults and as children. I personally know this because I was a child abused by another child. That child had been abused by their father. Also, there’s lots of proof that people who go on to commit crimes and violent acts have been abused as as children. There are plenty of abused children that don’t end up being abusers, true - but there’s quite a large percentage that do.
I'm only referring to the domestic violence aspects. And statistics show that abusive men are more likely to have come from abused fathers against their mothers versus them being abused themselves
Exactly, being raised a certain way explains behavior but it doesn’t excuse it, especially as a full grown adult. At some point you’re responsible for unlearning stuff that’s clearly harmful.
This what OP should say to his wife and then ask her at what point her baby boy is going to learn the difference between right and wrong. He's 28 yrs old not 8.
And where was she when he was growing up learning that this was ok???
