We see a lot of animal abuse, ongoing, in government, industry, and hunting trapping situations. We see an extremely high murder rate in the United States, and incarceration of Psychopaths very high in prisons, due to data telling us, very prevalent, the murder rates inclusive of a foundation of animal abuse, animal torture, and all around cruelty to animals — this is inclusive to Wildlife also, and we must pay attention to this type of behaviors, as important — rather than be swept under the rhetorical rug of we do not give a shit, unless it happens to us or our family member!.
Hunting, and people going into our Natural Environments are simply going to have to be regulated better, and guns and modern weaponry the same. The lies, the perpetuation of them all, stem from Psychopathic Behaviors, and we now see many of these that fit into a Psychopathic Dysfunction level, are making these types of decisions — placed in decision making situations in government and in Law Enforcement.
As a society and a culture, we are going to have to look at this, within a truthful perspective, is all — and resolve the apparent issues of cruelty and abuse to all type of animals ongoing today.
Psychopaths and PPTS Scales of Recognition / Identification
“We have a problem today with animal abuse, yes, but many of us have not been aware, fully, of animal abuse and psychopathy . . . Yes, it is studied, but within the past few years, is becoming studied and researched more than previously — data gathered for public perusal as well, for identification purposes.. Yes, it is ignored. Swept under the carpet, so to speak. Hunters, trappers, ranching, or dairy, government agencies such as the Bureau of Land Management, the USDA Wild Life Services, USDA Forestry, among others, do not like to discuss this situation at all.
It is attributable to much of the shootings we see today, directly and indirectly, and mass shootings, of people. We cannot ignore the Murder Rate statistics either. Under the guise of government taking our weapons, as well as under the cloak of secrecy, and allowing some information to penetrate society as valid information, and other information muffled, or, forced into subordination for other less valued and less effective information. Ownership of animals, or subordinating an animal to such a point where the cruelty can be subordinate to a necessity of value to do so, becomes merely Acceptable Abuse, despite the ethical boundaries that no longer exist, to protect the animal. . . Laws do exist, but often for purposes of conversation, rather than being enforced.
Today, this will simply outline further, traits, from gathered information and within a data base, from the Psychopathic Personality Traits Scale (PPTS: Boduszek et al., 2016) and the Boat Inventory on Animal Related Experiences (Boat Inventory; Boat, 1994).
Here is the interesting aspect of knowing some of this information, is the fact we can acknowledge and compare the psychopathy scores (using the PPTS) among those who have a history (i.e. as a base of evidence records) of hunting, torturing, or killing of an animal. .
We see such government organizations, and their behaviors, and yet, do not know how to classify obvious Psychopathic behaviors – until now.
The parameters within the PPTS show, who had hurt an animal, tortured, and did kill the animal or animals, and scored much higher than those who killed an animal without torture, et al. More importantly, a history of abusing animals was a significant predictor of PPTS score.
The results also provided descriptive data about the abuse, finding that dogs and cats were by far the most abused animal (at least the most available to those keeping track) of abuse occasions, and wildlife, although secondary, indeed is starting to come into the light of day, and a data increase become obvious, as scores escalated robustly, of killing animals in a cruel methodology, torturing them while doing so, and e.g. happily or sadistically bragging about the kill hatefully, and at times, robustly.
Profoundly, and as we see within the killing and torture of wild horses, wolves, coyotes, bear, and cougar (i.e. government employees and hunters – trappers alike) speak of the necessity of killing them, and the excuse for torturing them while killing them. The most popular abuse, which leads to further abuse with increased cruelty, and increased occasions happening over time – methodology starts out as hitting, beating, or kicking an animal, often which are also domestic pets.
Identify Local authorities and others who are Psychopathic
The following behaviors are consistent within the parameters of an Animal Abuser, which we can classify as a Psychopathic Dysfunction, from their direct actions of abuse, with more to come.
(1) superficial charm;
(2) absence of delusions;
(3) absence of nervousness;
(4) unreliability;
(5) untruthfulness;
(6) lack of remorse and shame;
(7) antisocial behavior;
(8) poor judgment and failure to learn by experience;
(9) pathological egocentricity;
(10) poverty in affective reactions;
(11) loss of insight;
(12) unresponsiveness in interpersonal relations;
(13) fantastic and uninviting behavior;
(14) suicide rarely carried out;
(15) impersonal sex life;
(16) failure to follow any life plan.
“Psychopathic individuals are a considerably small part of the United States population. For instance, estimates have placed the prevalence of psychopathy in the general population at 1%, (institutions go as high as 16% but not discussed here) of non-institutionalized men over the age of 18 (Kiehl & Hoffman, 2011). Kiehl and Hoffman (2011) used data obtained from the 2010 Census Bureau to estimate that number to be around 1,150,000 psychopathic people in the U.S. population, et al. . .”
We can now acknowledge, and qualify and by obtaining further information if a person has a need to do so, from many sources, I will list later. For now, without a doubt, we can qualify many in the government, as well as hunters, trappers, ranchers, et al, and people in not just Wild Horse Advocacy groups, but in the general population. For example, if all 16 points listed above fit one person, and they are known to have tortured an animal, a wildlife species, or domestic animal, then they need to be turned in to the FBI or other Legal entities.
