They get people to notice the incredible cruelty people are capable of when they think they're showing the stoopid masses the light.

It's not about how children should be treated better than dogs or dogs treated worse than children. It's about how people will do damn near anything if they can fool themselves and others into thinking they're above considerations of right and wrong.
