I consider that a crime can be an act of rebellion against the whole of society. It can be something which is offensive to us all, it may also undermine the fabric of human society. If I try to lead a decent life and do the right thing, then if I observe someone doing something wrong and then going unpunished. Then it might encourage me to break the rules.
By my reasoning "Mr Vic" has committed a crime against not only the dogs but all the people in his community.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.
