You could also mention how we slaughter hundreds of cows and chicken so we can turn them into burgers and KFC, or anything like that, but that's no excuse for sticking a hamster in a microwave. Ex. Just because someone else murdered tons more people than you doesn't justify the fact that you just murdered someone.
The term "Someone" applies to sentient beings only.
I also bring bowhunting to the floor. If a hunter shoots a deer with a broadhead and it doesn't kill it, that could be considered torture too.
