Some psychopaths are sadists, but they're not synonymous.
From what I understand, and without doing a whole ton of googling dictionary. Sadists enjoy inflicting pain. Psychopaths, now pretty much an extinct term I recall being tied tightly to empathy (the lack of it) displayed usually by committing physical savage acts and feeling no remorse for the outcome. Although, I think my psych 101 class mentioned some cases of pyschopaths that were manifested through emotional pain and torture.
Anyways, I don't kill stuff or torture stuff, nor do I enjoy watching others in pain, and I do feel bad when stuff hurts. I don't squish spiders. I swerve around chipmunks and I try...TRY...to buy meat that isn't mass produced (but it's hard sometimes).
And I still think people have gone WAY over the top about this video. I think all the outrage for these puppies is misplaced. There are SO many animals suffering SO much more severely. Yet, for the convenience of having chicken all packed in plastic sitting in a grocery store cooler 24/7, we ignore it.
I saw no indication of ******
or psychotic behavior in this girl. If killing unwanted dogs is against the law in her country, or even killing them without a license or whatever...then she broke the law. She should be held accountable. She's a minor, I imagine legally it wouldn't go so hard on her.
