I just went through this on another thread, except is was a women starving dogs to death.

Urrgggg. Even more mad now.

What gives with people wanting to hurt animals? I just don't get it.

You don't get it because you're probably too much of a sweetheart to get it. IMHO, (I not being much of a sweetheart, or at least being acquainted with being an @$$hole) people hurt animals for the same reason they hurt other people--convenience, or to refute their own weakness by exercising power over another.
