It's retarded when people make it out as though it's not a big deal, and that human deaths happen all the time so animal deaths are apparently not worthy of anger or disgust.
The reason people are more offended when animals are tortured or killed is because by default all animals are innocent. Most aren't sentient; they don't know anything about the world and can't effectively defend themselves against humans. There's an inherent lack of sympathy towards Humans, we see them die and get shot and blown up all the time and don't think twice. The reason is because we take on a certain responsibility for ourselves once we reach adulthood and if someone dies it's either their fault or the person that killed them's fault. With an animal, the owner is responsible for it and when you wave that responsibility to do something so cruel you're a serious scumbag and deserve to be shot in the kneecaps and slowly left to bleed to death.
Humans need to kill certain animals to survive. This should only be done swiftly and as painlessly as possible. However, there are different types of animals based on their relationship with humans. We categorize dogs and cats as companions because they are social animals (cats as a result of convenience, dogs as a result of mutual benefit) while, say, a chicken is a walking bucket of KFC. However, chickens don't deserve a prolonged death any more than cats do.
It's to my understanding that this skank killed puppies. If I had my way she'd receive the death penalty.
