That's really the most important thing to take away from this horror story.  Whenever fucked up shit like this pops up, people should really take a minute and ask themselves "Really, what kind of person is capable of such cruelty?"  Just imagine the scenario, and then calculate the inhuman callousness one would need to hurt an innocent animal, especially in such a deliberate and fiendish manner.  I say, with absolutely no hyperbole, that society would be greatly benefited by this woman's immediate death.
