      Ok then, WHY IS torturing animals for fun bad then? Keep in mind we have a psychological condition for people who do, so at least the medical field thinks its wrong

        kant would say you shouldn’t (i think his example was kicking dogs), because it is cruel, and practicing cruelty may condition you so that you end up being cruel to a person, and that would be wrong.
