Cruelty to animals is nothing new but the ways of doing it have changed.
I was raised in the country side and witnessed many shocking scenes although not as cruel as this... person's deeds. Living as a slave to animals' needs can provoke peculiar behaviours in some people.
Then there is the "I dare you" thing with young people that leeds them to any bad habit.
In the distant past when people raised and harvested their own meat for food, the habit of killing became less intense to the conscience and abuse could set in. When transportation was achieved with the use of animals, some sort of road rage or impatience saw resolve in beating and mistreating animals.
Read old books and you see a lot of similar attitudes described as if in normal fashion.
People used to beat the crap out of dogs, horses and more sadly, wives and children. It was considered bleeping normal and encouraged by authorities!!!
The human animal is violent and its habits difficult to curb. Violence to any being is wrong and wishing bad things to any perpetrator comes from the same source as his crime.
