Not liking animals is linked to a lack of empathy too... Archive: https://archive.today/TAI7h From the post: >>On-screen psychopaths such as Patrick Bateman in 'American Psycho' and Villanelle in 'Killing Eve' are often depicted hurting animals. Now, a study suggests this character flaw is not just the stuff of fiction. Scientists in Serbia have found a link between psychopathy and the belief that animals aren't as worthy as humans. People who show signs of psychopathy – such as being impulsive, lying compulsively albeit and having a 'superficial charm' – may be more likely to humiliate or even hurt animals as a result.
