I agree that in many ways this doesn't make much sense, but your average person is eating a steak because they are hungry. This scum was just practicing sadism. If he had gone as far in trying to cause serious injury to a person, with the same mindset, then **** yes he'd be going to jail, as that would be a serious case of assault. We make distinctions between regular assault and a hate crime, so it's not unreasonable to make distinctions between eating a steak and kicking a cat like you would a football.
