Animals make me cry.

I love animals so much more! Especially in movies, 50 people could die and I wouldn't care but when that dog dies :( I'm a wreck

Thank god for you!!! I feel the exact same way and it's nice to know that I am not alone!!! I cry over animals too and those commercials send me into depressions as well! To those people that say that animals don't have emotions and don't think Like we do screw you bc you don't know that!!! The bible says that we are all precious in his sight!!! Thank you for caring about animals as deeply as you do bc these animals can't speak for themselves!!! God gave them the land first before we ruined it and these animals need people to speak up for them!!! Thank god for you!!!

I understand you, cause I totally have the same problem! Animals are innocent and they love you unconditionally. So, I think it's only fair if we love them back. Humans who harm animals are sick. Besides human are too self-centred. After all we are harming all nature - plants, animals, ourselves - by destroying our planet/climate with pollution, etc. Animals suffer because of humans. Also I don't think we should be placed above animals, only because we have a type of intelligence which creates technologies or because it's written in the Bible. All nature is equal and should be protected equally!

same!

I'm the exact same way. Is it normal? Prolly not. But who cares.

I feel EXACTLY the same! Specialty about the horse scenes and the shelter commercials! I would save an animal instead of a human baby!

I know this was posted years ago but I just discovered it. I typed into google this exact question because my family thinks I need counseling because of how sensitive I am with animals. They think it's sick that I'd cry over a bird getting hit by a car but not someone dying of cancer. Don't get me wrong, I still love my family and friends and it is terrible to lose someone, but losing my last dog was a thousand times worse than losing my grandparents. I loved them immensely but they were older and had lived their lives.
I recently hit 2 geese in the road and they died instantly. I had to call my father to come get me because I could not stop crying hysterically. I do know I'm definitely on the "too sensitive" side, but it made me feel so much better knowing I'm not crazy! Sometimes I feel like a bad person because I love animals more than most people, but after reading all this I think it's ok, we all have different reasons for being on this earth, maybe mine is to help protect the ones that are often times forgotten about

I knew i love animals more then Anything in the world since i was a little girl , I became a vegetarian since i was 6 year old. It's difficult normal .

Mygod. We experience the same thing, literally. I have 10 awesome dogs and i love them to bits.
I just care for my dog buddies and other animals so much. I cry because of them, i pray for them, especially the sick ones, abused, homeless and untaken care of. I even get to the point where I scold other people hurting them. I even asked my mom is it normal to care for animals more than people? If i could punch every person hurting, abusing or abandoning such innocent creatures, I would. Seriously.

I feel exactly the same. I went to veterinary high school and quit when I saw terrible conditions in which farm animals are held. I am studying molecular biology now and I am about to drop out again. I would rather die myself than to test drugs and chemicals on mice. You are not crazy. (And I swear I will not make further attempts to work with anything living again.)

Im the same way dude :)

You sound exactly like me! I am so glad to know there are people like us out there. People even family always argue with me because I cry almost everyday and suffer for these animals.

I totally understand i feel the exact same way and no one understands. I love my dog more than my own life - I know its crazy but I can't wait to see her after a long day. My husband is jealous of my dog. I cry uncontrollably if a see any kind of animal in trouble even road kills. If i see animals up close like a raccoon i start to cry because i love them so much. I kiss my dog between the ears at least 100 times/day or more. We are always together and i know she would protect me from any danger. We have the strongest of bond.To me she is the best and i would not trade her for any child. Now don't get me wrong - I am not anti kids - I just prefer dogs over kids. I would never harm a child or allow a child (or human) to get hurt - I have feelings after all. But I have to admit that i prefer the company of my dog over that of humans. She does not make me feel insecure and i can trust her with everything. She is loyal and loving all the time and most of all always happy. Humans are not always loving, loyal and/or happy and that is a fact! I thank God for making the multitude of animals for us to love and enjoy. I know that one day humans will become loyal just like animals and that humans and animals will live together in peace.(Isaiah 11:6-9)

I get sad when i think of animals being put down because of them being vicious towards people in particular. Animals havent evolved to be aggressive and vicious just because. Obviously if they are that way theyve faced adversities that were most likely brought about by humans. Its almost like if someone came into your house and pointed a gun at you and you were 'put down' for defending yourelf against him. I hate that theres a double standard with anial cruelty that if a human is mean to a pet then he might get a fine or watever, but in the long run that pet is probly going to be f*cked up mentally snd be vicious and probably get destroyed as the result. I hate that people destroy animals for their own enjoyment, whether it is int3ntional or not. Like in my home town, i saw builders taking out all the trees and forest in this area because they were going to put a rec centre in. A REC CENTRE. They were destroying innocents animals habitats, most likely killing a lot of them, because they wanted to build something that we didnt even need here!

You are quite normal for feeling this way and i glad theres more people like you. :)

Me to i fight with people all the time and my familuy yells but my bird when I'm sad justs gives me comfort

i love animals equally to humans. i think it's wrong whenever someone hurts a human or an animal. humans are animals as well though. but it just gets on my nerves that people think it's okay just because they cant talk! THEY NEED TO BE PUT IN THE PLACE OF THE ANIMAL!

I have the same problem. I don't think it's normal to place animals above people but you care about both- like walk and chew gum at the same time. My preference for animals began as a child. My father was a cruel alcoholic and my mother wasn't much better. I was an only child for nine years and my pets were my friends. The relationships with my pets didn't hurt, they had time for me and were always loyal. Alot of people have close bonds with animals for many reasons. I don't think you are weird to have compassion for the helpless, abused and neglected. The ads on the TV make me very depressed, too. But I find any cruelty and suffering depressing.

I like my pets cause they don't make fun of me and are always there when I feel sad

I hope your a vegetarian because if not then your love for animals mean only so much

I am so glad I saw your post. I feel the same way...it's almost debilitating because I can't hear about or see an animal in need or animals in shelters or advertising for rehoming an animal I fall apart! It physically causes pain in my chest like someone grabbed my heart and squeezed it I feel it in my sternum and I burst into tears it causes overwhelming sadness it devastates me. I really wish I didn't feel like that so much because it haunts me and lingers like feeling guilty or bad plus sad. It's emotional overload. I wanted to adopt a cat and I couldn't go into the shelters or peruse the ads because I couldn't stand seeing all those faces if animals in need knowing I can't save them all. It's terribly overwhelming and distressing and causes me to be sad so often. I just love them so extremely much.

You’re not alone. I’m with you and can’t wait for the day nature is back to the way it should be. In the meantime I am speechless and powerless on how to cope with the suffering and murder of animals for the selfish reasons humanity has. I get sad and extremely angry as well. Sigh 😔

I feel you 100%. I just cried watching a business channel on tv. They were talking about pork prices. Then showed breeded pigs being paraded like circus animals to potential meat companies. Sickening!!! all for $$$. That’s how I found this thread.

humanity kills animals primarily for $$$ for the thousands of supermarkets and restaurants. Most people take for granted all the meat they eat. They don’t know or care how it got there, as instant gratification provides food on demand.
As long as there are humans with intellect/technology, easy ways to kill , and $$$$, there will be the breeding, hunting, mistreatment , and killing of innocent animals.

Its truly sickening and heartbreaking and I wish I could end it all. I would save all the animals and could care less for the humans that hunt, mistreat, or kill animals for profits. They could burn in Hell.

“Humans are stupid. Ashamed to human.” -Kurt Cobain.

I feel exactly the same way. The very fact that I have had to google whether this is normal , speaks for itself. I can sob for days if I come across a case of animal cruelty or the unjust death of an animal. I have even come to literally hate all humans except my immediate family due to the pain and that some humans inflict on the purest souls of this universe. It tears me up knowing that people have no mercy for such a vulnerable, defenseless soul.
I obsess about animals. Whilst every person posts updates of their lives and a new pair of shoes or boyfriend on social media... all I do is watch animal rescue videos and cry myself sick or cute animal videos to brighten my mood. I have this deep jolt of pain in my chest when I hear any sad news regarding an animal yet I could laugh when hearing of murder of humans.

I feel the same way and have always been since I was a little girl. I still save insects at 30 years old! I think it's normal but only for empaths. Sometimes I'm guilty that I care more about animals that aren't a part of my life than humans. I could cry on the spot imagining ANY animal suffering.

I bawled my eyes out today because there is a pigeon that has been walking the neighborhood for days as he has, what looks like, a broken wing. He almost got hit by a car and my stomach got so upset I thought I would throw up. I don't know what I can do for him so I just left food in my yard and hope he gets to it before the other birds do. My heart aches for all the animals who have gotten hit by cars and may lay there suffering before they pass. Humans sometimes suck!!!

I'm actually crying right now. I don't have much to say because you have said it all. You took the words and the emotions and everything right out of me. I love my pets so much it literally hurts and I don't know what kind of person this makes me because I would always, always choose animals over people.

I am the exact same way. But I don't just feel sad about cruelty against cats and dogs. I feel sadness towards farm animals and ALL animals that are mistreated. I cannot begin to tell you how much it upsets me. Keep in mind I am a vegetarian.

According to Theosophy, the human animal stage is the last level in the organic realm. After that the humans no longer have a physical form and enter realms of light and love. Also theosophy states the humans had have to pass some realms before reaching humanity: Mineral, Vegetable, Animal and finally Human. I think some of us, have emotional memory strong enough to emotionally remember those very , very old ancient days when we were those silly adorable beings, moving around for food and mates. It is important to note the distinction Theosophy makes: we've always been spirits. But when we were animals we had no intelligence and no ego. We had only instincts for survival and intuition to perceive danger or being able to assess other beings next to us. According to Theosophy there were many Earths before the current. Every planet pass through a wheel of evolution and then devolution. The times when we were animals probably were not on this current Earth we so much love. But on another instance of life in a distant planet wich fir these days could be a dead forgotten rock somewhere in deep space. So you better take care of your pet, it could be the little boy from a future humanity that will be assigned to you in some couple of eons when you become what we know as am angel or a superior being of love. Kind regards.

I feel the same way. I just get sad and cry all night when I see those videos saying 'Last moments with my dog' or watching commercials in which those poor little innocent souls are crying to be loved. I just wish I could adopt them all. And when Im thinking death of dogs it just gets me... I feel sad and wish that there was someone to love them as I myself am a mom to a Lhasa apso and I wish she would never die and leave me in this horrible world

God I thought I was the only person that felt this way about animals as no-one else in my life feels the same. I love them so, so, so, so much

You ever see what happens in factory farms? I don't care who you are. There's nothing humane about letting an animal(who DOES feel pain AND emotions) rot in cage with no room to even roll over so its in unthinkable pain and misery until it dies from the suffering. Feeder pigs. And obviously there are many more.

Humans have so many more laws, and other ways to help themselves. poor animals dont a many. Its okay if animals make you cry. but i dont think that any life should be valued more than another human or other wise.
