Moses says somewhere in the Pentateuch that a bullock killed under certain circumstances should not be eaten but should be left to the dogs. That's being pretty nice to dogs.
Also, who was it, Elijah who promised King Ahab that the dogs would lick his blood, and after he was killed in battle the dogs in fact licked his blood where his chariot was being washed. I think that made the those dogs pretty happy. I think it was also Elijah who fed the little boys who threw rocks at him and called him "old bald head" to the two she bears.
Of course, Aaron's staff turned into a snake and ate up all the Egyptian magicians' snakes. I guess the flies and frogs were pretty happy from all that reproducing. Not too mention all that prohibition of muzzling the grain-treading oxen.
But, of course, you're mostly right. The Bible is full of bloody sacrifice of animals. Jehovah was certainly a very blood-thirsty god before he died..
