Torture is defined in the American Heritage Dictionary as: Infliction of severe physical pain as a means of punishment or coercion. Norn torture is the abuse of norns - and, by extension, other creatures - either by simple means such as slapping or by more "interesting" means (such as gengineering a norn to be a chronic alcoholic, be always afraid or in pain, or throwing them to a pack of grendels, et cetera, et cetera). Steve Grand even predicted norn torture (or at least slaughter) in his norn concept writings:

Norn torture has long been a controversial subject in the Creatures Community. Probably every owner has at one time or another has applied the hand to the backside of a Creature - indeed, Lis Morris's Boney Grendels were specifically designed to run away if spanked - and some would argue that the difference between torture and discipline is just a matter of degree. Steve Grand even predicted norn torture (or at least slaughter) in his norn concept writings: Equally appealing to children and adults, men and women. Something you wouldn't be ashamed to keep on your office PC. Something a naturalist would want to study, a father would want to teach soccer, a granny to dress up and a complete b***ard to butcher mercilessly. Norn torture first came to light with a newsgroup post by a supposed norn-torturer. In response, AntiNorn put up a site called Tortured Norns dedicated to the activity and those who perform it, including his first tortured norn, Slave. He subsequently added more tortured norns, pictures, torture-enabling COBs and even recipes (the real-life equivalent of Breaded Hatchling Norn). A somewhat less contentious website called Feral Farms was also created by Melantha Bacchae.
