Ah, but don't forget, Buckbeak, eh Witherwings, is back now. So 
there's still time. ;-)

Anyway, I disagree that Hagrid is an animal abuser. There's nothing 
wrong with how he treated the Hippogriffs. And regarding Norbert, 
Hagrid came to his senses pretty soon, as I suspect he would have 
with Aragog as well.

The real problem is, that he lacks the comment sense to see what a 
danger the creatures could be to other humans, like when he sent 
Harry and Ron to the spiders. But this has nothing to do with the 
treatment of the animals themselves.
