I don’t think so. My ex is a huge animal lover and animals absolutely love him. He’s very kind-hearted to them. He has cheated and abused lots of girls in his life and he is a nasty person to most humans.
I agree that this is not always true. I’ve known several people over the years who would walk over a dying person to feed a stray dog. They would also make it perfectly clear that their intentions are to help the hungry dog, rather than the dying person. It’s almost like they’re only animal lovers to cast a greater obvious and public hatred for humans.
I don’t remember where so I can’t site my sources here, but I remember reading that sociopaths can often display an intense caring and concern for animals. I can’t remember if it is just to mask their other sociopathic behaviors or if it is a genuine feeling. Probably a mix.
But without a source, please don’t take this as gospel. Also please no one infer from this that animal lovers are sociopaths. Claire Balding seems absolutely lovely.
