Something I’ve noticed. In comments on cases of animal cruelty, people react with much greater anger than in cases of cruelty to humans.

“Something I’ve noticed. In comments on cases of animal cruelty, people react with much greater anger than in cases of cruelty to humans.”

I have to confess this is something I’ve noticed in myself. while I hate the thought of human suffering, I have a more visceral response to animal cruelty. I have never been able to watch the images of people jumping from the Twin Towers, for instance.I also cannot watch the ads for rescuing abandoned animals, but my reaction to these ads is more emotional. I have no explanation for this and have often wondered why this is the case. I don’t care less, I just react differently.
