I'm just brainstorming here.
To propose a universal concept you have to see it is universally agreed on,
unfortunately even child abuse for entertainment has not been seen as wrong by several societies let alone some individuals, for instance in the forum in Rome.
In Japan you can be served a fish which is filleted, but still alive and the customer derives enjoyment from watching the suffering of the living fish while he eats it. I find this disgusting, but a good many can't even understand why I might have a problem with it, its natural and goes on in nature.
