That’s pretty messed up. Of course it’s cruel. Only a person who lacks empathy for animals would ssy that causing suffering to an animal unnecessarily isn’t cruel.
there is some question about whether it’s justified, sure, but it’s not inherently cruel. the suffering isn’t the point of the practice, it’s incidental.
I disagree this is cruel.
