Animals are neither innocent nor guilty, they're amoral. They're not apart of human moral systems, hence cannot be judged by that standard. That doesn't mean that it's acceptable to abuse them, though.
As for children being innocent, I would say usually children under 7 doesn't know what is right from wrong, typically by the time they are preteens, they should have some basic morality like "Don't steal", "Don't bully others", etc.
Kids are innocent because they are easy to influence and don't always understand the consequences of their actions. You're definition of innocence is very superficial.
IIN that I don't think kids are more important than adults?

Same reason why we feel sorry for animals. They're innocent and powerless in most situations.

Kids aren't innocent. Why do you think they need so much discipline?
