I'm being serious... Is it even possible for an atheist to hold such views towards animals? . . .

I don't think this view necessarily arises from a belief in God. There are plenty of people who have never had a spiritual thought who take pleasure in stepping on dogs' tails (for the very reason that they feel entitled to it as a "higher" species, even). I think going out of your way to harm animals has more to do with a person's ability to empathize in general than his religious beliefs.
