I guess the difference is that when someone tortures an animal its all about acting out and feeling powerful. And that is usually not good to have in a society.
On the other hand most of our legendary heroes are also mass murderers (even the most popular drama on tv now has a serial killer as the hero), armies are a thing of pride and torture of people is more or less acceptable.
So basically while I don't condone the actions of animal abusers I feel that the extreme response many people have towards hurting "cute" little doggies and kittens is way out of propotion to stuff lots of other stuff people. Besides I don't give a second thought before stamping on ****roaches and cats are far worse pests if you think about it...
