If you understand the consequences of your action, it is less likely you will harm others - because it will make you feel guilty and unhappy to do so (generally speaking).
Also, if you throw the puppy in the full knowledge of what you're doing, I don't see how you could then object on moral grounds to someone throwing you about. It's a behaviour you are demonstrating is acceptable to you.
