I've never believed so. However, you'll find that the majority of the users tag such villains with those categories anyways.

I say that any being that's killed an animal can count, regardless of whether said animal is anthropomorphic or not, but Animal Cruelty depends on whether the animal is intelligent or not. A predator hunting for food or an anthropomorphic character commiting a heinous act against another sentient animal, no, that's not animal cruelty.
