In 1905 people had a different attitude toward animals. They were there for our amusement and exploitation. They were not regarded as living creatures.
I always try to be kind to real animals, but I’m not terribly bothered by a poor hotelephant catching on fire. Not nearly as bad as Itchy and Scratchy. We are easily as cruel to real animals (factory farms and vivisection) as people were back then, not to mention pre-natal murder of human animals.
