It's a valid point that animal torture does not typically bode well for a young person's future self, but it's by no means 100% predictive. I think people saying yes to this question are answering with their emotions and not their brains.

I value the life of a cat over the potential benefit from a cat abuser with two hands. It's quite rational really.

I agree, sort of. I don't really value the life of a cat very much (though I do like cats). OTOH, I consider people who get pleasure from torturing others (animal or human) to have a very negative value. There's only two things that I really hate: rape, and torture (they're basically the same though).

I'd probably shoot them both. They're both equally corrupt in this scenario.
