The correct answer according to our society is to punish these guys according to law. I don't know what the law in US says about torturing animals, but in Europe the punishment can be rather severe aka expensive. Still none of the western law systems considers cutting off someone's hand - might be different in Arabia.

So to answer the initial question: No, I would not do it. I think I am civilized and I do not act like barbarian, not even towards barbarians.
