Villains who abusively treat animals and/or another animal-like species or have no care that their actions can cause the extinction of an entire species (or in some cases, actively seek their extinction). They can also be Poachers who are willing to hunt a rare animal. These villains range from characters who harm animals for fun or hunt them for food. Either way, they serve as a threat to the animals throughout the story.

It is the notable opposite of Animal Kindness.

Important Notes: Do not add Non-Human Animals into this category as animal-on-animal "cruelty" is normal and is a part of nature, such as a lion fighting another lion for mating season or a shark eating a shoal of fish for survival. The latter should go under Predators instead (e.g. Dag). However, animals can be poachers to capture a load of random animals other than eating them. (e.g. Nigel captures the pretty birds for Marcel to sell the birds on the black market and Mr. Krabs poaches a lot of jellyfish by squeezing jelly out of them for more Jelly Krabby Patties.) Also, do not add this category to Anthropomorphic characters who are non-human animals that try to abuse another animal when that sounds like animal cruelty (e.g. Tom chases around Jerry in most cartoons and Dawn Bellwether terrorizes and abuses predator animals that are sapient.). In addition, it is worth mentioning that some animals such as some types of rodents, insects or spiders are exempt from this category because it is considered acceptable to kill them due to their statues as pests. So do not add a villain in the category if they only attack these types of animals (e.g. Judge Claude Frollo, Toussaint Beaufoy, Martin Lomax, Count Antonio, Walter White and Jesse Pinkman), unless if these types of animals that they harmed are shown to be sapient in some way like being anthropomorphic or domesticated, then they can count as animal cruelty (e.g. Chef Skinner, Stan Beals, Percy Wetmore, Aunt Sponge, Neopolitan, Aunt Spiker, Ken, Alice Ribbons and the Grand High Witch).

If a villain's worst crime is hurting animals, those animals need to be sapient and they need to be aware of it (even if that awareness doesn't come until later) for them to be heinous enough for Pure Evil unless the harm is so unreal and goes beyond what is considered average villainy in the story (e.g. Mrs. Tweedy, Cruella De Vil and Mick Scoresby).
