The reason that humans find the death of an animal so compelling and sad is because when an animal dies a part of ourselves die with it. Animals are in a sense pretty oracles [like small children] and are pure and innocent without the subjection and exposure of the humanistic society that makes people corrupt, and subconsciously causes us to lose a small piece of hope for ourselves. That we are not like “that of a little child” or like a dog. This is also the reason behind why many people get pets, especially when that pet is thought as a life rather than a possession.
