A man fed five live kittens to his pitbull dog when he went to a party in Gisborne last year.

Te Ahu Aaron Mankelow, 31, pleaded guilty to five charges of wilful cruelty to animals after he recorded himself on a cellphone tipping out five kittens from a box for his dog, and urging his dog to eat them.
...
Something in a parked truck attracted the dog's attention. When Mankelow looked inside, he saw five kittens, their eyes not yet open, in a cardboard box.
He took the box from the truck to a reserve alongside the property.
He tipped the kittens out of the box for his dog, which attacked them one by one, urged on by Mankelow, who recorded the whole attack on his cellphone.
All of the kittens were killed.
Someone called an SPCA officer who identified the remains of five kittens, with broken bones. At least one kitten had been disembowelled.
Killing 5 kittens or another animal is what I wouldn't do, but isn't natural for dogs to kill?
Is there a different between a dog that kills rabbits, squires, duck/gees, chicken, vs. kitten?
How about hunters that kills bear because they simply wanted a rug?

What type of country is New Zealand where they say 'Graphic Content' in big red letters and don't have any pics? Was author's description vivid enough for me to puke? I doubt it.
As Howard mentions you aren't supposed to either but it's also different because most people have a stronger emotional tie with dogs and cats than they do with mice. We are all animals so one may as well ask what's the difference with feeding humans to lions, they would eat them naturally in the wild given the chance. The difference is that at some point we start imparting human qualities onto some of the more developed animals or simply those we keep as pets. At least as most people are raised they are supposed to have an emotional connection. Not having any such emotional connection can be a sign of a psychosis.
