Killing things to eat or to protect yourself is obviously different. But if you're killing things just because it's fun to kill things that is wrong.

So, guys that go to Africa or other nations on safari are 'redneck scumbags'?
How about those guys who go and kill a whole sihtload of feral hogs that they will never eat, but are doing so in order to curtail the destruction those animals wreak on the local agriculture?
How about those folks who hunt coyotes in the US? Coyote numbers are out of control in a lot of areas and are reducing the population of deer and other viable game animals as well as impacting livestock...

I think Tenkly was saying that skinning an animal for decorative use is as bad as killing a human, he is right. All living things have a right to live except when we need them for food.

I don't think there's just one absolute psychopathy: You are or you aren't. It's more like there are different shades between and a little bit of apathy or pleasure in killing things was probably cultivated throughout our history.
Just because we've all lived in a society that figured out how to program men to kill others without thought, doesn't mean this was always the case. People probably evolved to enjoy the hunt out of necessity, or those that did enjoy it were able to pass down those genes because they were more successful at killing, and thus surviving, their enemies.
These traits were passed down genetically and through family hobbies and events. You're going to associate out camping with pa in the woods and successfully getting your first kill with positive emotions that you'll connect with every time you go hunting again. You'll look forward to taking your kid out hunting and training him and pushing him to meet the challenge. It's all self-reproducing reinforcing behavior.

I never said whether it was good or bad, just that a pathology means a sickness or something wrong. Skinning animals/killing for our pleasure/hunting is very common - so common that either most people are pathological or this is just normal human variety. Many people for instance wear leather shoes when they could wear fiber and rubber based shoes.

There is definitely a difference in killing game animals sport and killing domestic animals for fun. While I am sure there is a small percentage of hunters that are sick, that is no different than some soldiers being sick. A guy at my work did a couple tours in Iraq and always talked of wanting to go back so he could "do some killing". He is the type that probably kept human ears on a necklace or something.

I know that one of the profiling methods for serial killers isn't just killing animals as a child. It's torturing and dismembering animals that is a red flag.
Pretty broad stroke to call people who kill animals as psychopaths. What about the slaughterhouse worker that has to cut the throat of all the cows that come in? He or she is not eating all the animals they've killed.

My theory is that they are a healthy outlet for those feelings that we all have. I think society has always had these outlets, whether they were public hangings, camping out on a battle ground (though not always so healthy), or the local theater putting on Macbeth or the Iliad.

I think that clinically psychopathy is linked more to lack of empathy. Killing animals for sport is probably not psychopathic, but torturing animals to death for sport would be.

That's common trait between all serial killers. They lack empathy and only know how to lie and fake it as a means to an end - which is them sodomizing your corpse.

I agree. To kill for food is ok as long as you try to reduce the suffering of the animal and give it a quick death.
Killing for fun is wrong. It shows humans are a predator species because other top preditors also kill for fun and also they torment and torture their prey. The best example of this is our house cat
