At least in very dramatic extremes, yes there's at least a correlation between horrific animal abuse and psychopathy.
No idea if that extends to more run of the mill actions.
I think it's taught there's some correlation between psychopathy and malicious treatment of animals, even small insects (capturing ants or spiders to pull their legs off, or similar behavior), but not casual disregard of the value of insect life or animals considered vermin (like stomping on bugs that startle you or using mouse traps to deal with infestation)
