Seriously! It's like some people don't give a damn about torturing animals if it brings them the slightest bit of pleasure. I wonder what it could be about society that would make these people think this kind of behavior is acceptable. In no other sector of civilized society would people have such a complete disregard for the well-being of other sentient beings for a short pleasant experience. Why can't they be like the rest of the humans and never do anything that would cause suffering to animals out of pure selfishness?

It’s like some people don’t give a damn about torturing animals if it ~~brings them the slightest bit of pleasure~~ gets them a few clicks on social media.

That's merely one avenue they get pleasure.
