My friend’s brother (15M) wants to kill animals like rabbits and hamsters because he finds them stupid and annoying, is it normal that he wants to kill them? Keep in mind he doesn’t, but he wants to. should i be concerned?

    He is in the peak age where serial killers and sociopaths start killing animals.

    Killing animals without an actual reason is a big red flag for mental illness. Some form of mental healthcare could be critical intervention that may prevent something far worse than a random bunny being killed, he could end up a CEO if something isn’t done.

    Not really. Teenagers (and young adults) tend to say a lot of stupid things but won’t do it.

    You should be concerned if he brings it up regularly or goes in detailed discussion.
