I don't see what's so baffling about it. Another adult human is the killer's equal, their peer; in theory, at least, they have a reasonable chance of defending themselves. But an animal -- and especially a domesticated pet -- is inherently dependent on humans, because we have bred them to be dependent on us. Killing someone or something dependent and vulnerable inspires a stronger reaction than killing an equal; there's a level of betrayal layered on top of the cruelty of the killing itself. It's similar to why people react more strongly to harm against children: children are more vulnerable and not as able to protect themselves, so they rely on and trust adults to protect them. Harming a child is a breach of that trust. Is that so hard to understand?
