Those are religious issues, and there is no objective standard to what we will be horrified by. The only safe bet is that humans will be different in different cultures, and thus different people will find different things bad.

Being horrified by cruelty against animals has nothing to do with religion. It's ethics.

Ethics is a religion as well. Philosophy has failed to find any universal truth.
