It's strange that, I still get more affected by animals dying in films and such than humans. It might simply be that we see humans dying a lot more in films than animals: after all, action films tend to have a high human body count but no animals, and so we're more desensitised to human death in stories. Or it might be the innocence of the animal that gets to me (the same as many people will react more strongly when a child dies in a film/book).

There's a thesis in here somewhere, but I'm too tired to find it *grins*
