What do you think about people who mistreat animals?

I don't think that anyone, that mistreats an animal, is a tender person, let alone a tender parent. If they have no feelings for helpless animals, what does that say about them? It makes me sick, and I cannot stand to see how people mistreat animals. It's a sin, and heartless. I think that there should be strict laws to help protect animals from this. How can a parent teach a child about life, commpassion, concern, and so forth, if they have an evil heart.

I believe that these People do not have a Heart and no they can't make good Parents as they are showing their Kids wrong Their Kids will think that is ok to be cruel to Animals, to beat them and abuse them, that is the right way to bring Kids up as they are being taught Violence.
