{{examples}}
== Toys ==
* The Piraka in ''[[Bionicle]]'' would occasionally kill animals [[For the Evulz|for fun]]. Chiara, supposedly one of the good guys, had a scene where she casually killed a lizard with her electricity powers just to make a point. Because of this trope, many fans assumed it was foreshadowing [[Psycho Electro|a darker side to her personality]], but [[Word of God]] states that this is not the case.
 
== Web Animation ==
* Appears on ''[[Homestar Runner]]'', in Teen Girl Squad Issue 11. So-and-So is getting chewed out by her obnoxious manager at Shirt Folding Store when the manager is suddenly punched out by an astronaut ("MEET A FIST!"). The explanation for this behavior?
{{quote|'''Astronaut:''' *ckhk* She killed my dog.
'''So-and-So:''' Um... 'kay. }}
** Also referenced in the Strong Bad Email [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail193.html rated], where Strong Bad claims that some of his favorite movies have been banned in Transylvania, "where you're required by law to eat puppies for breakfast."
** Strong Bad is also known to kick The Cheat, even though he's not really a bad guy.
** In another Strong Bad Email, [http://www.homestarrunner.com/sbemail110.html for kids], on his kids' show, Strong Bad invites children to play "Where's The Cheat?" with him:
{{quote|'''Strong Bad:''' All right, dumb children. Find The Cheat!
''(The Cheat peeks out from behind a box.)''
'''Kids:''' ''(half-coherent)'' He's over there. Right there.
'''Strong Bad:''' Um, no, he's behind the box. No, he's not even ''behind'' the box, he's ''barely obscured'' by the box. ''(getting upset)'' Look, The Cheat is behind the freakin' ''BOX''! ''(screaming)'' HE'S BEHIND THE BOX!! I'LL KILL YA!! I'LL KILL ALL YOUR DOGS!!! }}
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcbazH6aE2g Richard kicks a dog, literally].
* Flint, [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Bunny Kill]] 4'', does this big time when he {{spoiler|kills Ruby, Snowball's potential love interest.}} Oddly enough, this makes him the only [[Big Bad]] of the series to do something truly villainous onscreen.
** As of ''[[Bunny Kill]] 5'', Smoke has joined the dog-kicking party. He {{spoiler|has Snowball's friend Dust injected with [[Psycho Serum]], turning him [[Brainwashed and Crazy]] and ultimately leading to Snowball's death}}. For added dick points, he also {{spoiler|betrays his partner Professor Sludge, the designer of the serum, leaving him to become Dust's first victim}}. The second half also has him {{spoiler|throwing his own mooks into Dust's way to save his own hide. Not that it helps him in the end}}.
 
 
== Web Original ==
* In the animation ''[http://www.ninjai.com/ Ninjai]'' the bad guy attacks the hero's little bird friend for no reason at all. The bird gets his own back later.
* ''[[The Saga of Tuck]]'''s Principal Nickerson has no qualms about assigning detention to students who skip class to commit suicide. Just so you know how badly he deserves the [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]].
* ''[[Survival of the Fittest]]''
** '''Cody Jenson''': Raped Madeline Shiohara and bit out her neck. How did he feel? He didn't.
** '''[[Big Bad|Danya]]''': [[Establishing Character Moment]] in the first version was when he was briefing the v1 students with a very... smug tone. Then towards the end mentioned he hated punks, and ordered his minions to kill a student for wearing his hat sideways.
** '''[[Honest John's Dealership|Jeremy Franco]]''' kicking Kimberly Nguyen in her bullet wound for refusing to give him her fedora, then taking it anyway.
* In the video ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110810045346/http://www.bchealthcoalition.ca/content/view/228 The Unspeakable Deeds of Bill 42]'', it's not enough for the character representing the bill to fine people for meeting to air their grievances. He has to up the evil quotient by deliberately knocking over a woman's crutches.
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'', Bakura mentions that he once killed a puppy. "And it was very cute."
** Seto Kaiba also gets a bit of a gem. In episode 19, Mokuba says "Big brother, whenever you smile, a puppy dies." When [[It Makes Sense in Context|Mega Ultra Chicken]] is summoned, Kaiba smiles, giving the caption "+1 DEAD PUPPIES." It continues, all the way up to "[[Memetic Mutation|+9001]] DEAD PUPPIES."
* The [[Ascended Meme]] NEDM (Not Even Doom Music) came from a literal example of this. [[Dissimile|Except]], replace "kick" with "burn," and "dog" with "cat." [[Internet Counterattack|Anonymous was not pleased]].
* ''[[Awkward]]'' has a fight between Lester and Alex culminate in Alex telling Lester to give up on his relationship with Steph because "everybody knows you're just going to mess it up like last time". [[Beware the Nice Ones|Lester doesn't take it well.]] Later we find out that Ernie dumped Karen, calling her "worthless".
* Discussed by Tanna and Elon in [https://web.archive.org/web/20150121073557/http://www.earsforelves.com/archives/423 this strip] of ''[[Ears for Elves]]'', though no literal puppy-kicking happens.
 
 
== Real Life ==
* In Euboia, [[Greece]], a 69 year old bartender {{spoiler|threw a chair into a dog and killed it}} because he thought it was sick. Everybody was furious and held signs writing "The murderer must pay!" and more.
