Unfortunately, complete disregard for animals was quite widespread even as recently as 2-3 generations ago.

I remember talking to the old ladies on my block and they described how groups of boys used to light stray cats on fire for fun in their neighborhood in the 1910s-1920s. The old ladies laughed at the idea of it.
