Is it equivilant to the suffering of a human? No. Is it still callous indifference to suffering? Yes. That's what makes them sickl people for doing so for their own amusement.

What animals "feel" is not what I would interpret as "suffering" in the human sense.

I admit this guy does have issues though. He may only be dangerous to his own pets, of course, but if this kitten belonged to someone else, he did cause suffering on the part of the animals owner and should suffer consequences.

I ran over a dog once and felt nothing for the dog. The owner was devastated, however. It was as if she had lost her husband. I did feel bad for her - I felt REALLY bad for her. I didn't do it on purpose, but I still felt bad. But ALL of my bad feelings were for the HUMAN owner, not the soulless walking meat.
