2. Zoosadistic arousals come from a desire to prove one’s virility. Instinct of domination, overpower, ruling, controlling. Desire to assert one’s gender, one’s strength, one’s masculinity. This question also underlines the predominance of male abusers compared to women. It also refers to our own vision of masculinity as an innate and to our cultural archetypes

3. The Dark Triad is a trinity which gathers three personality and psychological streaks, such as Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy. Also described as tendencies towards conceitedness (arrogance), deceitfulness (malhonnêteté), and manipulation. Those three, if gathered in the same person can provoke personality disorders. Researchers have found that psychopathy was always present when speaking about cruelty towards animals domestic abuse.

They can indulge into IATC for religious or artistic purposes and/or to fulfill their sexual desires when hurting animal or fetishism with animals triggers sexual pleasure.

Expressing In my opinion, we can, indeed, consider meat eating as another form of animal torture since it became optional to eat meat in our lifestyles in order to stay healthy. Indeed, nowadays, we have access to more and more options that can help us get the nutrients provided by meat without killing any animal. Most of people that still eat meat eat it because they like it or because they were told since a young age that they need animal protein in order to stay healthy, which is false. Eating meat is now a choice more than a necessity, which was not the case earlier in history, where food was rare and there were not as many option as now. Eating meat has an awful impact on wild life and on the environment. Producing meat requires a lot of water, land and releases a lot of bad chemicals in the atmosphere. It’s our responsibility to preserve wild life, and create more sustainable means to consume proteins. Everyone should rethink how often they eat meat, where it is coming from, reduce their consumption and consider more ethical options.
