Most people who have conduct disorder do not go on to have antisocial personality disorder. Most people who have antisocial personality disorder do not go on to be serial killers.

I never said every person that tortures animals turns out to be a serial killer, I said that every serial killer had, at some point, tortured an animal. It's not guaranteed that he will become a serial killer, but if his actions continue to follow this pattern, the possibility still exists.
