I think animal cruelty is... Bad. Honestly, that's the only answer anyone can give if they have a conscience.
I don't know what the OP meant by "even a theist", I mean, really, I'm pretty sure theists as well as atheists can say, "Wait, I love animals, they're so beautiful and wondrous and blahblahblah, I could never be so terrible to another being," or, "Oh, wait. I'm a good person so I should do good things and not hurt that animal," or something else without appealing to a higher power.
For a theist, God is the ultimate good, and to say that something is "an abomination before God" is to say that "I find this to be one of the most disgusting things on the planet." It's also an attempt to point out an animal's worth, because the almighty cares about it, despite its seeming insignificance. I really don't see anything terrible about that line.
Furthermore, Christianity, because apparently that's the only religion worth raging at, has changed a lot since it's inception and the rise of the Inquisition. That's like hating all of the Japanese today because of Pearl Harbor. They're all completely different people with extremely differing beliefs, and to lump the population of today with a group from the past together is to deny their individuality.
