I think if you were to see someone torturing an animal in front of you for fun, you would have some sort of negative reaction.

That doesn't necessarily mean that I have animals being tortured as a negative terminal value: I might only dislike that because it generates negative warm fuzzies.

This also applies to foreigners, though.

Well, it also applies to blood relatives, for that matter.
