Lol i could write phd paper on this topic. To keep it short, Humans are just animals. Hurting a cat is no different to me than a person.

Would i agree to put down a bad person or dog? sure i would, but they had to earn that first and be beyond rehabilitation.

he felt no remorse at the suffering of masses that didn’t actively do anything wrong to deserve the treatment but He felt distressed if I randomly kicked a dog. Which to me is the same picture. Hypocrisy to my mind.
