A lot of times, we feel that if an adult gets killed over something, he/she probably deserved it. A lot of this, I feel, is subconscious.
Adult humans are capable of hurting others; cats, rabits, and children are not. Note that rats and roaches are living things which can and do do harm to humans. They spread disease, bite children, nest in our bathtub drains. When they are killed, we look at it as more of a good thing.

I completely agree with this statement as the way people must think when they react (as described), but I am certain that it is not logical (at all). |
