This trope is not really [[Truth in Television]]. Sadists tend to hurt animals directly, and tend to move on to hurting people. People who wear fur or eat meat are not doing so for sadistic reasons. Most animal rights activists likely don't believe this is true either, as they bank on people's compassion in many of their campaigns -- not that that [[The War On Straw|stops them invoking this trope]] ''in'' said campaigns. |
