From what I recall there are definitely cases of animal animal abuse - as in one animal torturing another for amusement. For the life of me I can't remember the exact incident. I do know of 1 monkey which decided to tease the ever living daylights out of a tiger/lion though.

Cats have a habit of playing with their food while their prey is still alive. If that cat was a human, then what they do would probably be classified as animal abuse.
Is that really abuse? Play is one of those behaviors that animals exhibit to prepare for dangerous encounters. Arguably, that is just as important to their species survival.
