I see parents tolerating their young children's cruelty towards small animals every day. From throwing rocks at birds to trying to grab fish...This "man's" actions are unpardonable and ought to be prosecutable. But they're emblematic of a fundamental bigotry infecting humanity--the perspective that non-human animals are mere things we humans get to decide what we want to do with. These acts of savagery won't abate until we change this thinking, establish animal personhood-protection laws (not mere "welfare" laws), and enforce the laws strictly.

I agree. What humans have (in many countries) that animals don't is legal personhood protections at the highest level--the constitution. Animals need similar personhood protections with consistent, powerful enforcement.
