An awful occurence certainly, but I'm not sure how southerners as an entire group deserve blame. Abuse happens all over. It's not limited to the south.
You could have just as easily said what is it about white people? Or what is it about men? Or what is it about teenagers? Or what is it about truck drivers? Or what is it about people who drive?
Thinking about it, "what is it about men?" may have actually been a more appropriate question. I would be willing to bet that gender predicts more of the variance in pet abuse than North vs. South.
