00:22

made in sentence Three And here the potential answers All

00:25

right This one simple if we spot the issue right

00:30

off the bat So here we go A person who

00:32

intentionally hurts an animal shows a lack of empathy and

00:35

a tendency toward aggression and violence and these air traits

00:40

that can carry over into the way in which that

00:42

person treats other people Well even if we don't spot

00:45

the issue right off the bat the process of elimination

00:47
