I'm willing to allow for children making mistakes because they just didn't think. For a lesser example, have you ever been to a show, where they mug for tension by saying "please be perfectly silent"? And don't you hear people who clap or shout at random - never too many, but there's always 1-2? No one wants to see the diver lose a v in a dive and just die, but, I bet everyone, just once or twice in their life, throws the occasional clap at that moment.
And most stop, and think, and realize that was a nasty thing to do. Then there's those folks who just want to sound an air horn, just before the death defying stunt. Those are the people who'd shoot at a cat, and not feel shamed and horrified, but instead, think of doing it again.
Only emotionally abused children shoot at cats.

1931 sure, but their grandkids probably suffer from the unbroken chain
