I find this to be a rather perverse form of sentimentalism. That animal life (well cute animal life, that is - watch how we treat a roach or a rat) is somehow more precious than a humans life.
My mantra when writing is "kill the kid, kill the dog"

I find that our sentiment toward rats n roaches are a different matter altogether.
These 2 forms of creatures are pests..and its in our nature to stamp them out..using
all means plausable to do so.
We are a perverse race when we see things like this..
2 food charity bins at the local supermarket..
one for animals...
one for homeless/starving ppl..
The animal box is packed to the brim..
the other one has 3 or 4 cans in it.
