Thanks for the effort here. Do you know on which of the 19 pages it says blacks are 36 percent more likely to abuse animals? I skimmed it pretty thoroughly and couldn’t find that.

I simply copied the link.

Goad prides himself on the accuracy of his sources. You could always leave a message for him over at Counter Currents. He normally replies.

Edit: Just read the document and I couldn't find it either. I did however find this:

If not eating meat is a criteria then white males score poorly.

Edit II: WRONG LINK. I pasted the wrong link — here's the correct one:

Adjusted analyses revealed strong associations between lifetime alcohol use disorders, conduct disorder, antisocial, obsessive-compulsive, and histrionic personality disorders, pathological gambling, family history of antisocial behavior, and cruelty to animals.

You could always ask the authors of the article — they might know of further research.
