Exactly where does a kid swinging cats round by thier tails fit on the cruelty 'scale'? (Before age 10) Also after being bitten or scratched does a normal kid do things like cover said cats fur with thier shirt and bite them back? Or use the cats own claws to scratch them back? (after age 12+) Is that anti-social? The person generally likes animals, more so than people even. The person who did this wouldn't kill an animal unless it was for food and prob would have trouble doing that even.
