Actually, it can be. I could go hunt down one of my Abnormal Psych casebooks to find specific examples, because I've read some scary ones. There is plenty of research to support the theory that children who start by torturing and/or killing animals would eventually start torturing and/or killing people.
Who cares? Well, society cares. I'd hate to see that dad have to represent (or prosecute) someone accused of such a crime, especially if it turned out that the defendant started by torturing and killing small animals during his or her youth.
