Is it normal if i feel more sad when animals die than when people do?

Humans are shitty creatures that embody destruction, they're thieves and whores due their fucked up systems.
Animals live purely and honestly, they don't bound themselves with self-righteous "morals."

I don't understand why this is questioned. Yes, it must be normal, to have sympathy for the loss of something that belongs to this world, than the loss of something that plagues this earth.

In my favorite Disney movie, Tarzan, I always cry at the part where Kala and Kerchak's biological child gets killed by Sabor. (They're gorillas, FYI) But in the same movie I don't cry at the part where Tarzan's parents are killed.

Also, I'm a fan of Madoka Magica and have watched the series twice. I never cry at any of the parts where certain characters die. But the other day I was watching The Fruit of Grisaia and all of a sudden in episode 4, the kitten who belonged to one of the characters got hit by a car and died. I bawled for at least an hour.

This might sound like a cop out, but I think it depends on who the person and or animal is. I also think I cry more about a tiny baby or a small child being deathly ill or dying than an adult human just like I would cry about an animal. I think it's a thing about innocence and purity for me.

I do think that it also is that grief and mourning are different experiences everyone. When my maternal grandfather died everyone was crying and very sad, people came for the funeral from as far as Texas, Florida and South America. I felt I had to be strong for my mother and my paternal grandmother who although she'd already been a widow for nearly 10 years was good friends with my mother's father. I really didn't start to feel sad until about two weeks later, and then I was calling in sick for work nearly every other day.

Normal. Animals have a more beneficial purpose to this world and are less destruction overall than human beings are. Also, I don't feel as bad for humans because I understand them on a human-to-human level, like I can understand their pain and loss. But animals, you can only empathize with. You have no idea how badly they feel pain and loss and how heavily things affect them and that to me is so incredibly sad.

People put themselves on a pedestal above all other beings on this earth but when it comes down to it if you remove a human being from an ecosystem it flourishes. If you remove a mosquito from an ecosystem, it collapses. Really puts into perspective how "special" humans really are in the grand scheme of everything.

yes normal i am the exact same way

normal
