What in the world is happening?!

Injected with acid, drowned, starved, and being used as a victim for dog attacks are only a few examples of the animal torture that’s recently been going on. What in the world is going on?! I mean, animals don’t do us virtually any harm. And if they do, then that’s natural and instinctive for them; they don’t have the mind of a human. So why can’t we just leave animals alone? But apart from animals, what’s horrible is the fact that many of us want to be horrible to others. But others might be having difficult times, and yet many disregard this. I once thought that there was a limit to the cruelty inflicted by people on both animals and humans. We don’t need to think about a world worse off than this, because this is already horrible. I can’t accept the world, even though there are probably mostly good people here. Why are the laws so lenient on such people?! I feel as though many people are practically allowing these cruel things to happen to animals, and many of us don't give a shit. Honestly, it's very sickening, knowing this. I don't like to regard people as acceptable beings; many don't have a sense of ethics, or a sense that what they're doing is wrong.
