Hard agree, I love my cat but somedays I feel bad that he has to stay inside all day or he'll kill all the poor birdies and then get run over. It's already bad enough, why would you torment an animal like that? I'm not necessarily against physical discipline in certain circumstances, but it has to be for a very good reason. If you would senselessly hurt an animal for no reason, I think that's possibly the worst morality indicator. Hurting lesser beings just for the fuck of it is pure evil, especially since it would appear that yes, Hasan is just using that dog as a setpiece.
