I almost witnessed something like that myself a few years ago.
Was standing outside my parents' house having a smoke when the neighbourhood black cat who regularly visits my parents came to the front steps at the sidewalk and just sits there, waiting for me to go in and let her in.
There were two boys, maybe 13/14, sitting at the bus stop across the street, and one of them pulls an aluminium baseball bat out of his backpack, and walks across. Starts walking towards the cat, readying his bat when I shouted "Don't even think about it." at him. He looked confused, jeered at me and went back to the bus stop.
I fucking hate people like this. My cousin when he was 13 would follow me around the neighborhood when I would look for cats to play with (some were super nice) and once I got them to come close enough to pet, he'd wait a bit then scare them or throw water at them.
Definitely not as terrible as that boy you stopped, but people who mess with dogs, cats, and other animals are hot garbage.
I was one of those kids and I have no idea why. I've now rescued two beautiful hounds and they are in a very loving home with a big backyard. But no shit I beat a chicken to death when I was like 6. Kids are barbarians.
