Sometimes (meaning always) on the news I will see that a person, or many people have died. I feel sort of bad, but can usually forget and it doesn't have that much of an emotional effect on me. However, when I see that something bad happened to an animal (especially cats/dogs) I am shocked out of my chair. When I saw the report about the toddler that flushed a PUPPY down the toilet, I wanted to get my hands around his throat so bad! And guess what: the mom said it was a freaking accident! If something like this happened to a human child, I wouldn't be as moved. Is it normal I feel like this?

    Sometimes I feel the same. I think its because I feel like these are creatures that can't speak for themselves. Nobody knows what they're thinking. Nobody knows what they're feeling, and sometimes I feel like people downplay that because... "oh... well, they're animals." So it is pretty sad when you see them being tortured and you think of how defenseless they can be, because its not like they can really even speak. Somebodys gotta stand by them.

    Haha, I would probably laugh if a puppy flushed a toddler down a toilet... I feel like I'll go to hell with this comment. But I know what you mean, to me the human race seems so much crueler than defenseless animals.

    I think my sympathy for animals and humans in the same situation (and given the humans didn't do something terrible and deserve it, or they are mostly to blame themself) is pretty much equal. I actually value human lives above animals. But I do feel more sympathy for animals that suffer their whole life (like those in factory farming) than humans who experience something tragic once or from time to time, but still have better times to make up. To me that makes perfect sense also. Humans generally have much better rights than most animals too

    In my opinion, yes. I think it's normal. I'm the same. I care so much more for animals than for human, in general. Like you said with the puppy, I would like to flush down the kid :/.
