I don't know, possibly because they're innocent and usually loyal. Maybe it's because they can't speak for themselves, or because they're defenseless.
But I feel the same way. I hate seeing animals in pain or fear. I want to fucking rip apart the people that are cruel to animals, limb from limb. They deserve it. It makes me mad that someone can kill a dog and be fined $500, but if they kill a human child, they get the death sentence or life in prison. It's still murder, either way.
That isn't to say I don't pity helpless humans, though. I hate it when a child is being picked on or abused. And I have a lot of respect to people who go out of their way to save animals, too. For example, earlier this morning I was driving and three lanes of cars had stopped because there was a puppy who'd ambled into the road. She looked really scared and she was basically frozen there. It made me smile when one of the drivers got out of his car and coaxed the hesitant puppy patiently into his arms and took her into his car, rather than shooing the little dog off. That made my day.
So, I can't really say why, OP, but you're not alone.
