People who don't like animals are more likely to have dark personality traits, study finds
UK Daily Mail ^ | 10/7/2025 | Johnathan Chadwick

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.

Their experiments also suggest animal haters are 'sadists', meaning they derive pleasure from inflicting pain, suffering or humiliation.

The experts report that 'dark minds do not like animals'.

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

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

Investors in cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin are more likely to be psychopaths, another study from last year claims.

Meanwhile, men with a high sex drive or 'libido' are more likely to be a narcissist, found experts at the University of British Columbia.

And researchers from the University of Turin found that being single was associated with higher levels of psychopathic traits.

While the animule bit is likely correct, the random stuff they threw in at the end of the article, also excerpted above, is likely not.

So, when my wife’s mongrel craps on the floor, I just have to smile and give it a treat?

I have known that indisputable fact for my entire life. Dad said to be very wary of people that kids, dogs and cats stay away from.

No.

You just clean it up, and then take part in the dog’s ‘potty’ training.

This is a false dichotomy. Just because you don't equate animals with humans, doesn't mean you "hate" animals.

Belief that animals aren’t as worthy as humans does not equal not liking animals Johnathan jockstrap, though they may be as worthy or more as you..

This is true. Everyone I have met who doesn’t like animals (excluding cockroaches, mosquitoes, lampreys and the like) turns out to be trouble.

(Ok I don’t like feral hogs, but I’d probably like eating one)

“Moslem” has the appropriate medieval feel to it, since it’s a medieval conquest cult.

I have a hard time believing the “crypto investor” part. All the crypto investors I know are pretty normal. Now if they were able to isolate the “crypto bros” on social media, they there might be some correlation, but crypto investors in general? No. I suspect it was a swipe at the bros, with no scientific backing.

The “Dark Tetrad,” huh? I can’t decide whether that should be a death metal band, a Marvel supervillains team, or a quartet of dystopian sci-fi novels.

There is a mile gap between “thinking animals are less than man” and “hating” or being cruel to animals.

Stupid premise of the author.

Probably all three. A series of dystopian sci-fi novels about a supervillain team that hides in plain sight as a death metal band. It’ll be bigger than K-Pop Demon Hunters.

You don’t say? That’s kind of a big DUH to me. I’ve always kind of sensed that.
