Trust me, you do not sound dumb. Sensitivity towards animals is a gift that more people should share. What they are doing is wrong and all the money in the world should not allow things loke that to happen, but unfortunately it does. But maybe if more people, like you, who are senitive to animals needs, can some day make a big difference. Thank you for sharing this story. The more you talk about these horrible acts the more people can become aware of the things that go on around them. That is a good first step towards solving these problems.
