This is beyond sick. Kristi Noem shot and killed the family's 14-month puppy because it couldn't be trained

136. Okay, so...

The first article from WhyAxis, in the second paragraph, linked to a study in which the abstract states outright, emphasis mine:

Liberals and conservatives are perceived to disagree on most aspects of life, even seemingly trivial things like pet choice. Although the question of whether liberals and conservatives differ in their liking for cats and dogs has been sporadically investigated, few peer-reviewed reports exist, results are mixed, and most reports examine this topic indirectly.

So there's that. In the same abstract, a "negative evaluation" of cats doesn't necessarily equate to hatred.

The second article requires a signup, which I'm not interested in doing, but it looks an awful lot like an opinion piece. The third article states outright that it is an opinion piece. The fourth article is also an opinion piece.

The fifth and sixth articles are about cat lovers being smarter than dog lovers, which does nothing to prove dog lovers "hate" cats or that disliking cats is somehow evidence of dark or sinister personality traits.

The final article's abstract states that dogs tend to be favored by "mainstream American culture", which isn't the same thing as saying cats are un-American.

TL;DR: I think I'll hold on to my skepticism of those three claims.
