Punching a grown man during an organized sport is acceptable considering its a sport and sometimes tensions rise. Its almost expected in a physical sport, which is why all professional sports only fine the individual.
However, kicking a defenseless animal that is in no way harming anyone else is the same as if a toddler had wandered onto the field and that player kicked him off. In both cases you have a victim that cannot defend itself nor is it an active member in the sport.
That player should be fined heavily by the association and penalized for animal cruelity.
