it's a cartoon from a different time period, when parents used to spank kids and use methods we'd consider cruel.. you can argue all you want on current morals but those morals and laws did not exist when the cartoon was made (let alone the books).

morals do NOT stay constant, they evolve with society.. not saying Mama Bear isn't an antagonist but she's not "evil" either by the standards of the society at the time.
