** Unfortunately, TruthInTelevision, sort of. In the nineteenth century, the United States government tested bullets on cats.

* In ''TheFreshman'', an underground restaurant serves jaded gourmands meals which are specifically [[spoiler: (but not really; it's a scam, and they're actually served oddly-seasoned supermarket meats)]] made from endangered species. While actual suffering on the animals' part isn't guaranteed, the diners pay extra when assured the animal they're eating is the LastOfHisKind.

* Named for Cruella de Vil, the villain of ''[[OneHundredAndOneDalmatians 101 Dalmatians]]''. In the book, she drowns any kittens her cat bears, and she only keeps her cat alive for the money the cat is worth (pedigree, but the kittens are fathered by alley cats).

** Mr. Burns in the episode "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds", which was directly inspired by Cruella de Vil, the villain of ''[[OneHundredAndOneDalmatians 101 Dalmatians]]''.

Someone who delights in animals suffering when used to make food and clothing for them. Someone who prefers any product which required an animal to die. [[PrettyInMink Fur]] isn't for warmth, style, or just enjoying how it feels. It's because [[KickTheDog they know innocent creatures died for it.]] Or if makeup is tested on animals, it's better, not because of any supposed advantages to the testing, but because these people know that their hair spray has also hurt innocent creatures.

* ''The Glove of Darth Vader'' is all over this. Trioculus takes a break from pursuing our heroes to hunt animals.

This trope is not TruthInTelevision. Sadists hurt animals directly, and tend to move on to hurting people. People who wear fur or eat meat are not doing so for sadistic reasons. Animal rights groups likely don't believe this is true either, as they bank on people's compassion in many of their campaigns.
