[QUOTE=Wheat Bread Man;25100994]Animals are just so much nicer than people and well... people are just dumb and annoying. Would you be more affected if a kitten died in a fire or if some british person did.[/QUOTE]
then how the hell will we get tea and tophats?.........
I don't think most of FP are closet furries, although I really wouldn't doubt it if it were true.
I think it's sorta like racist jokes, in a way. If you hear about one of your own species dying in a somewhat funny way, you laugh. There've probably been threads about someone who died horribly, and most likely considerably less funnies were rated and puns made.
If animals are harmed, well, like dogs. Dogs are nature's bros. If someone hurt your bro you'd be pissed, yea?(applicable to really close friends and family members) I guess it works like that.
tl;dr I really don't know.
[QUOTE=Cookieeater;25098586]I've been going through the In the News section and it seems like with every case of animal abuse, everyone goes raging over it while when a human dies, everyone doesn't rage over it. Why?[/QUOTE]
Call me when some crazy bitch starts chucking babies into the river.
Maybe because animals aren't assholes who destroy everything and kill one another because of the things they've built out of the things they got from the places they destroyed to build there.

Is it bad that I chuckled at that?
[QUOTE=CunningHam;25098633]Lack of social connection and because of animals are cuter and more defenseless.
It's not entirely unjustified but it's still pretty irrational.
Which is pretty fine, people are an emotional breed.[/QUOTE]
dont know what kind of animals you're looking at but they aren't cuter than a bunch of girls i know

Cute is one thing, but i think the main reason humans get defensive when human abuse of animals occurs is because, there is really no need for it.
So you can kill an animal, good for you, you must be a big tough human to take your mental problems out on animals who can't very well defend themselves.
It is the same feeling you get when human abuse of newborns or infants occurs.
Is it irrational? Sure, there is plenty of kittens, puppies and babies in the world to where a few dead won't really matter, but it doesn't make it any less sad.
Now in comparison to human deaths i think people have become saturated with it in this day and age, if you go to a small town and tell them somebody was dismembered and tossed around the town in separate pieces they will be up in arms, you tell that same story to somebody like me from the city and i will not be surprised at all.

I went ahead and used another member's avatar that sums up my feelings towards this.
