Why do people feel more sad about animal got hurt than about human who got hurt?

People r evil

Humans should always come before an animal. That is not to say that animals shouldn't be abused. But if it came between my child and the dog, the dog is out. Humans should always be the priority, especially the ones in your native country. Then the animals, unless it is the animals hurting the human's, then you focus on and take out the animals. Edit-- It is normal to feel that way about an injured animal, but sometimes people are helpless in their situation as well. When my 16 month old son started turning blue from a seizure, let me tell you, there is no pain like that that an animal could inflict on me.

It may be because most of the time animals don't hurt us, we on the other hand tend to hurt each other in one way or another, if a lion bites you and then the lion falls off a cliff i doubt you would cry, I don't know.

Because animals still look cute even when they're hurt, whereas humans usually look disgusting when they are in pain. But we should feel worse about humans being hurt, obviously.

The human race is a disgusting and vile entity, we should all be shot.

most animals are innocent and don't do anything wrong towards humans and well there plain cute! humans on the other hand can be obnoxious, rude, violent, disrespectful. We're taught growing up that animals are defenseless and they need protection, and well humans can for the most part fend for themselves. I feel the same way about animals, if I don't know the person I couldn't care less, if its someone I know or care for it would be a different situation.

You can get extremely close to your pet, and they're often helpless if they get injured etc. They can only last a short time, sometimes, and you just feel like you want more time to them. With humans who have been injured, you know they have more attention to get cured, and can sometimes help themselves. If your friend broke her arm, she would be her same self once she'd got in in a cast. It would be normal, but when a pet hurts their leg it's harder to cure. You will often feel a sense of guilt, like you don't know how their feeling. It is common.

animals are always victims , humans have some control and can avoid many situations, plus they are the planet's leading predator

Because the animal has limited to no control to the situation. It's usually a man made item or man itself that hurts it, and it makes most feel guily.
