	I cite: A culture of cruelty
		But cruelty is cruelty because it is not and cannot be justified; it goes beyond mere utility.
		More importantly, when cruelty is used as a justification, it displays the real inadequacy of the justification; if something appears cruel, it is because the end which justifies violence is abstractly removed from that violent act—the violent act appears as excessive[x].
		So I agree that there is an excess in cruelty, a kind of pleasure in it, a getting off on pain, and that this is the benefit, the extra, that enables the cruel to avoid, for a time, their own vulnerability.

		In this subject area (welfare and wildlife) both philosophy and science are as yet poorly developed, and cannot support the construction of sound ethics.
		It was introduced to distinguish acts of gratuitous cruelty or neglect from justifiable activities that also -incidentally- caused animal suffering.
		In philosophical terms, the phrase 'unnecessary suffering' fails, because it merely shifts the problem of defining 'cruelty' a stage further on, substituting new twin problems of defining what is 'necessary' and what constitutes 'suffering'.

		The prohibition against seething the kid in its mother's milk, a process in which there is no cruelty at all, and the one against taking a mother-bird with her young, seem to have a religious rather than a humanitarian significance.
		lest anyone by exercising cruelty towards brutes may become cruel also towards men; or, because an injury to brutes may result in loss to the owner, or on account of some symbolic signification.
		But it is indisputable that, when properly understood and fairly judged, Catholic doctrine -- though it does not concede rights to the brute creation -- denounces cruelty to animals as vigorously and as logically as do those moralists who make our duty in this respect the correlative of a right in the animals.
