I feel compassion for animals rather than for people

I dont have problem watching people - hurt,damaged, ripped apart, suffering, being beaten or tortured on some videos or detailed photos, and when is talked about it I dont feel very sory... but i have problem watching video or photo where animal is being tortured or killed by some human, or just imagine that.. I start to feel bad.
Is it normal?

    OMG, I am the same. I do have compassion for humans but more for animals. It bothers me EVERY day. Not one single day goes by that I don't think about how some poor anal somewhere is being abused, tortured, or killed. It will put me in a bad mood andakw me depressed. Animals ste helpless against humans and humans take advantage against us. There are tons of laws and punishments protecting humans but not so for animals. It hurts my heart unspeakably!!! If I could change anything in the world that would be it.

    I am the same way. I was just talking about it to someone earlier today, actually. If I saw someone getting beaten, I would keep walking, most likely. But if I saw someone torturing an animal, I would snap.

    To me, that's normal.

    I hate the way chinese people rip the skin off a live animal for fur. its hard to watch but there are videos on youtube on how horrible chinese people are to animals. i have a completely different view of them now.
    and gandhi said 'you can judge a society by how it treats its animals'

    I was watching the news with a friend and there was a story about a terrorist bombing killing 15 people and she gave no reaction to the story. The next story was of kittens being rescued from a person that didn't feed them and her reaction was "ohhhhhh poor little kittens."

    I looked at her and said "the 15 people being blown up doesn't get a peep out of you but a couple of cats go hungry and now you bad."

    It not that she didn't care about the people, I think it is just a denial things that we do as humans.

    You probably have issues with people, seeing them either as threatening or otherwise negative. While animals have never hurt you. But the reason they haven't is because you live in a well organized human society that keeps them at bay and controls them, so don't be so hard on humans.
