It's really anything of 'our times'. I mean....for instance....

People have *always* felt more (or more publicly felt more) for animals, which are generally regarded as innocent and not guilty of any crime or misdeed. Seeing them die for any reason will always tug at more people than some random person, famous or not. We're just...that way.

Simon <3 Hero cat of the Amethyst. May he long be remembered.

I couldn't even read the poem about the horse - and neither could the owner of a museum devoted to WW1 near where I live. He just pointed to it and said, "No, I can't read that one."

If it helps, the official order of looking-after in the British Army in WW1 was horses first, then men, then officers. I remember seeing a programme on WW1 in which the horses from a particular house came through the war with their owners, against all odds. The owners took them back to their home after it was all over - and the horses put up their ears and headed straight for their old stables. A lovely story.

Oh, wow.
I think I'm going to cry, now.

Lovely.

Me too, I felt my chest swell and tears well up immediately on reading that. Animals and their instinct for hard work and loyalty, but also their resiliency and ability to adapt, and that they know a 'home' and find comfort in it are just as compelling to me as humans. I think it's that because we share that with them that friendships with animals mean so much to me, too, and why the death of one makes me extremely sad because the animal is often dependent on us and our kindness, and that bond. I always miss my cats when I am away for more than a day. I know it makes them sad and it really gets to me, too.

Exactly....
