I believe Animal and Child Cruelty should be distinct, there are many characters that are happy abusing adults of their own species but absolutely loath the idea of harming a child or an animal..

it is well established that animal and child-abusers are seen as far more heinous than other criminals, even by criminals themselves.

it often a way to bring "even evil has standards" when one evil character learns of another abusing children or animals, making them disgusted and thus showing that they are not as repugnant as the other villain (thus making the audience hate the other villain more and increasing the likelihood of them being either a CM or a "hate sink" character)
