Can somebody with ASPD be an animal lover?

Saying that, I tolerate animals in the house but have no idea why people get attached to them; although I'm willing to accept that they do.

I know a few people who would get more angry with someone hurting animals than they would hurting people and that makes no sense to me, especially as sometimes they get so angry at people hurting the animals that they have to go to the fridge to make themselves a ham sandwich.

Ever since I was a kid people have become suspicious if one of the animals is limping or runs away when someone walks towards it; "what's he done to it this time."

I also try to remember to refer to pets as "he" or "she" as people tend to get indignant if you refer to them as "it" and "that."

Years and years ago someone else's cat kept coming into the house and pissing everywhere. I was given free reign to "scare it from coming back" as long as I didn't hurt it.
I didn't kill it; but I think that was a fairly significant indicator to my first wife that things weren't going to be Disney. I think she thought it would have been better if I had killed it.
It didn't come back though.
In fact, I never saw it again so maybe it did die.

End up hanging it because it $#%^ on the floor again.

And I'd twist your ballz off slowly and then shove them down your throat while smiling about it.
Nothing personal...
