Not a 'dog person'? You might be a PSYCHOPATH. People who don't like animals are more likely to have dark personality traits, study finds
People who don't like animals are more likely to have dark personality traits, study finds

.... Each of the four Dark Tetrad traits – narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy and sadism – are made up of particular undesirable attributes. ....

Speciesism is a prevalent belief in modern society that humans should be treated as morally superior to other animals. ....

'The typical emotional callousness, self-centeredness, and entitlement of the Dark Tetrad traits go hand in hand with less concern and empathy for others,' the team add. ....

Prior research has linked Dark Tetrad traits to various behaviours including the tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. ....

1. In a lot of horror movies they kill the dog off early in the story.

That's when I turn it off.

3. I'm with you on that one. I will not watch movies where animals die.

4. I have not watched a movie in many many years for which I did not check out the storyline--and if it includes the

death of animals, I'm out. I made one mistake with the Irish movie, The Banshees of Inisherin--I never saw the ending as a result.

[Walleye]

10. I think it was "The Call of the Wild",when I read that in school that it turned me out off permanently to

Stories where dogs die. I can’t even watch “All Creatures Great and Small” though it is a great drama series.

[hlthe2b]

2. I believe it.

While I have been around people who were traumatized as children--having been bitten or some similar incident and have tried to work with them if they were interested in losing their phobia, those who aggressively show disdain for animals sans any reason whatsoever, are on my "AVOID" list.

There is a lot of ridicule of our current generation and the cohorts of animal lovers who treat their pets as part of the family or their children, but damn if I wouldn't like to have many, many more of them (and far less of the obnoxious anti-animal people). The former are showing both their capacity for empathy and caring. The latter, just the opposite.

[Walleye]

8. Pets are part of the family. Some people who didn't grow up with pets and don't have any just don't understand.

It’s almost impossible to explain it to them. The love of an animal.

9. That's where we Childless Cat Ladies come in.

We're supposed to be so miserable in our sad little homes with only cats to keep us company. Cats are the best people there are, but if you hate animals you probably don't care much about people either. My last cat passed away in February but following some necessary work on my house I will be going to the shelter to find another new friend or two to love and live with happily, not caring what mean people think.

22. to love and live with happily - (why do I get 403 Forbidden posting with quotation marks? )

5. First thing the cops do when showing up to roust

Someone is to shoot their dog.

[Walleye]

7. Dog shooters get cabinet appointments in this administration. God motherfucking damn.

[hlthe2b]

12. Not in Colorado. I worked with a group to pass a law to require nonlethal attempts and mandatory training for police

-on methods and the requirement to avoid harming pets unless others have been hurt or killed, the dog remains a threat, and/or no other intervention is considered safe to those assembled.

[Klarkashton]

13. Lots of vague exceptions there.

They shoot the dog.

[hlthe2b]

16. They have to answer for it and some cops have been demoted. It is a start. You should at least appreciate THAT.

What has YOUR state legislature done to try to improve this situation as you deride OUR efforts? Nothing, I'd bet money. What have YOU done?

[Klarkashton]

18. I've lost a dog to the cops. How about that?

[hlthe2b]

20. Your experience and those like it are the very reason we worked for three years to get this law passed.

I am very sorry you experienced this, and stories like yours motivate us. I don't want ANYONE to experience the tragedy that you have at the hands of law enforcement or anyone else. Why do you deride us for our efforts?

[Klarkashton]

21. I deride the cops not you.

I said nothing about you.

[Walleye]

6. I much prefer living in an apartment complex that's pet friendly

The people are a lot nicer. I see them out walking their dogs when I go out and chat with them. Trump doesn’t care about humans The animal he hates the most, I believe, is Homosapien. I really think there’s something missing in him, and he doesn’t know how to care, and all his sycophants are trying emulate him. These uncaring people who think empathy is a weakness, are just ruining the United States and our reputation

[Blues Heron]

11. Then there are those with their own gravel pit kill areas like Kristi Noem

[hlthe2b]

15. I still cannot believe she did that-- or that she published having done so!

There are those in this world who look for "symmetry" when vile things happen. I certainly do not hope she encounters someone with this obsessive mindset, but most of us would have considered that possibility before bragging of such a horrific act."

Well, it is her Karma...

[yellow dahlia]

14. But, like everything - this conclusion must be taken in context,

and is not an absolute.

There are some who are uncomfortable around dogs because of having been traumatized by dogs, in their youth. There are some who are uncomfortable around certain breeds.

In psychology, various noteworthy traits don't exist in a vacuum.

[hunter]

17. In my personal experience dogs are less dangerous than people. Even bad dogs.

So are bears and mountain lions.

Feral pigs?

I stay clear of those.

Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

-- George Orwell, Animal Farm

[Bayard]

19. I put people who abuse animals in the same category

Psychopaths.
