How does animal abusers act from good intentions?

Ok, i get that Hitler might love their people, so his hate for Jews, was to reach goals he loves. Fine.

But what about animal abusers? I just can't stand, when someone abuses his dog, cat, or puts them into freezing cold to death etc. How the fuck can you say, that he acts from good intentions, if those people just like the way animals suffer? If everthing's love, than how torturing your dog is love?

When I was a kid I would abuse animals at times because they wouldn’t give me the level of attention I wanted. It was actually because I loved the attention of the animal and the pet so much that I think my little kid brain was hurt that the animal did not want to reciprocate the love. There are all kinds of reasons why people do “insert fucked up thing here”. Overall, it’s usually because their life is lacking in key areas they need to feel satisfied and secure.

When I was little, about 6 to 9 I abused some of my pets by chasing them around or hitting them - the reason was because of a very unstable upbringing where it was being done to me, I emulated it in my play, as children mirror what happens to them.  I grew out of it and now adore animals and would not harm them.  I could bring a hand down and they would not flinch, just sniff my hand, no pets of mine are ever hit or chased.

I think people who don't outgrow it don't because they don't have empathy, and so I don't personally know why they are acting from good intentions.  I developed empathy where I learned that my actions have consequences i.e., the pet would no longer come over to me anymore.

If you see little kids doing things like that, look at the home life of the child, often they are being abused themselves.  If you see an adult doing it, they are responsible for their actions and should be held accountable.
