I, personally, have never understood people who abuse animals. I have spoken with people that liked to torture cats-- tie their tails together, throw them over a clothes line and let the fight... Putting animals in a sack and tossing them in lakes or canals... I don't get the pleasure for them in it. All I get is "I hate cats|dogs|frogs|whatever". Never understood it.

Normally, I am an "to each their own" kind of guy, but this makes no sense to me. People can abuse people easily enough-- why fuck with an animal.
