>>552314 It's the idea of hurting something cute, harmless, and helpless. Something that couldn't fight back, and has no desire to hurt anything. It's just a special level of cruel most people are uncomfortable with.
On the other hand, when an animal attacks someone, the situation is completely reversed. Where if human murdered someone else, it has to be proven, then they have to go to trial, then pt in jail and babysat fir the rest of their lives, or in a few places put to death.
With an animal however, even if the victim survives, the automatic response is to kill the animal. "A bear took off somebody's arm, shoot it in the head!"
It's really just about the human instinct for revenge. Newton's law applied to emotions. People have trouble seeing people and animals undeservingly killed, but love to watch those who hurt others punished for it.
Basically, them killing the puppy was just to justify to the audience that they were about to brutally murder a bunch of little kids.
