A cat plays with a mouse, a school of dolphins tosses a baby seal about like a football; is this cruel?
A man beats his wife senseless, a child bullies another to the point of tears and genuine fear; is this cruel?
In order to define 'cruel' properly we have to establish a term of reference - responsible action (I meant that) or non-responsible (I was a kid/mamal who doesnt have any conception of cruel)
Until kids are adults, and until animals can speak, I'd say not cruel.
