I am afraid these "people" exist in any nation. (And it makes it difficult to accept life at all to know that some of the people you meet on the street are capable to do things like that to animals and humans!)

However there may be some specific problems in muslimic countries.

I know a lady who runs a dog and cat sanctuary in Malaysia (she's Australian). She says that with the cats it's still more or less ok in the muslimic country but she has a huge problem with the dogs. She can't get employees of Malay origin to help her because they cannot get in contact with the saliva or poop of the dogs. So she has to look for other ethnies.....

How people treat animals is strongly influenced by how they live themselves. The Chinese traditionally do not treat animals well ( and still kill too many species for food and medicine -especially in South East Asia) but in Singapore we now met Chinese people who have founded a cat rescue organisation.

So I hope that education will help to slowly improve the situation where you live -but it will never extinct the psychopaths I'm afraid.
