I think the trend is always to more sympathy for animal-related cruelty cases.

Personally, I think for me it's because the animal cannot fathom what is happening to them and why. A person may understand, however unfair it is, that they have been caught in an IED, and why the people made it, and to some extent have even understood the risk of it before going there. So it's not fair, but it's something the victim can comprehend.

All a puppy gets is "ow - hurts now" and no clue why.

I think this is why baby and animal cruelty cases are often viewed with more sympathy than abuse against another adult human.

I dunno Ree.
I mean, I watch Bones pretty religously, and I rarely get upset about what happens to the people. However, the last episode I watched involved dog-fighting, and I ended up crying by the end of it....

Back OT, I believe karma will bite this guy in the ass. Hopefully his cellmate is a big animal lover....

i cried with in 30 minutes of that episode
