I don't really think staring at animals is mistreating them, and I'm pretty sure that's as far as discipline even goes with her, anyways. And as far as I know, she hardly ever does it. Pretty much only in emergencies. I only remember her using it on some chickens who were out of the pen, which could have been pretty dangerous for them given how close the forest is, and that cockatrice, which was pretty necessary. And I guess that one time on Angel, but he was being kind of a jerk that whole episode. She's otherwise super nice with animals. Compared to how animals are usually treated in real life, and even on Animal Planet sometimes, she's quite a bit nicer.

Also, this is about a fictitious animal staring at other fictitious animals to get them to behave, it's not that big a deal.
