I am trying to understand this. What thrill does someone get by killing a helpless animal... 
. Can someone explain this?

BEIJING (AFP) – A group of "crush fetishists" has caused an online storm in China after uploading graphic videos showing attractive young Chinese women crushing small rabbits.
In the widely circulated videos, several smiling women are seen in turn cuddling and playing with small bunnies just before crushing them as other giggling girls look on.
In one scene, a young woman places a bunny on a table before covering it with a plate of glass and sitting on it for about a minute. She then lifts the glass up to reveal the lifeless bunny, blood oozing from its snout.
Another of the girls dispatches one of the animals by crushing it under her high heels.
Media reports said kittens were also among the animals abused in the videos, although it was unclear whether the same group of girls was responsible for their deaths.
The videos have sparked a heated response from web-users, who launched what is known in China as a "flesh search" -- an effort to reveal the girls' true identities.
"It is hard to imagine someone could be so perverted," said one chatroom entry on the popular portal NetEase.
"Flesh-search them! Uncover these rabbit abuse women and spit on them," said another.
Such online vigilantism has been effective in the past in exposing wrongdoing by corrupt businessmen, officials, and others.
The searches have revealed that a user group of animal-crushing enthusiasts was organising and financing the videos, according to media reports.
