The passuk in Hoshea states”those who kiss the calf ,will kill a/the man”
Really??? Are you aware of the context of the verse at all?
1. The verse is talking about a golden calf, not a live animal.
2. You’ve reversed the sentence. It should read “those who kill a man will kiss the calf.
3. Rashi explains it as a statement of the priests of Molech that one who offers his son to Molech will be worthy to kiss the golden calf.
The verse has absolutely nothing to do with being kind (or unkind) to animals.
