Nah there's a difference between being sadistic and doing something out of necessity.

that's subjective and a brand new leather jacket is not a necessity
Not every culture values dogs like yours does its popular around the world to feed animals live bait like chickens, cats and goats for entertainment. And a variety of cultures do this at local zoos from Switzerland to Iran, my family is Haitian and my grandmother has told me that so many dogs were feral and hungry that they would attack children which led to them being killed on sight a lot of the time. So it's not sadistic, it's subjective, we all see other animals as beneath us it's just a matter of to what degree.
