Sad Pictures

Some people have a stronger reaction when they see an animal suffer than when they see a human suffer.

This is often because we view animals as helpless. But when a human child suffers...

What do you feel?

hahahaha wiki, poor birdy!

I have the strongest reaction when I see the 2nd picture.

It depends on the context and situation, but I think I have stronger reactions with humans in the same situation.

My reaction was strongest to the kid. But I also felt for the poor kitty :)

What's wrong with the kid?

What's wrong with the kid? It is dying of starvation and being eyed by a vulture as dinner.

annom said...

That's just your biased view of a black child playing in the sand...
