In the process of domesticating animals, we've taken away some of their natural defenses (not all of them, of course, domesticated animals kill people and wild animals all the time) and made them more dependent on us for food and protection by breeding for certain physical traits and for personalities that are easier to work with. We also train them from infancy to work with us.

I don't know if I'd consider a dog being killed by a bomb sadder than a person being killed by the same bomb, but like to think of that scene in the Wizard of Oz movie where the tornado is bearing down on the farm and they let all of the animals out of the farmyard to fend for themselves because keeping them penned up while the humans seek shelter in the cellar would be cruel. The farm animals may not survive the tornado, but giving them back the power to run where they please at least gives them a chance, even if they never find their way back home again.

I've seen this in a bushfire training video (Australia.) One firefighter in actual mid-emergency stopped for a few seconds to smash his axe through an aviary and release the birds.
