I won't open the link but many serial killers started out torturing animals. Many of the people who become mass shooters abused animals. There is a proven link between animal abuse and domestic violence and the commission of other crimes.

We need to take animal cruelty seriously and have actual consequences like jail time. There needs to be a national register for animal abusers but there is a big segment of the population that just doesn't care. Preventing animal cruelty in addition to helping the animal will help prevent crimes against people.

Police were alerted after a neighbor saw him discarding a dead cat from a container filled with water. Neighborhood kids also reportedly came across mutilated/dismembered kittens, which adults thought had been victims of animal attacks. More were found buried on the property.
The poor things fought for their lives, too. Authorities noted that his arms were full of scratches,

which he blamed on elderly patients at his place of employment.
It would be good if we had reliable ways to test for potential mental disorders during childhood so the kids can receive treatment before it starts to manifest.
"may be an indication"? There's no maybe about it.
To say treatment, even at an early age, is going "fix it" is wishful thinking at best..... and potentially dangerously naïve.

Yes, personality disorders (unlike mental illness as in bipolar, depression, and other chemically based disorders) do not usually respond to treatment. It's really more of a birth defect than a mental illness.
