animals in disasters

we always hear about human casualties
"OOOH nOOO! a human died"
How many animals died?

There have been a few reports about that, but most thaty i've seen don't even consider it.

It pisses me off.
Anyone else?
 
Yes, it is sad that we put ourselves above animals.
On the other hand sometimes you do see some hero stories about someone going out of their way to save the life of pet or even a wild animal.
It is more common on the internet.
But be careful to not watch the fake rescues.
Some individuals that we unfortunately call people, abuse animals to make money from click on youtube.
 
I am not going to censure anyone. After all, it's reasonable for humans to put our own species ahead of the others. Every human individual matters. For animals, we seldom take care of them, and when we do so, it's usually a matter of the whole species.

We can risk our life to save the ones we cherish, no matter animal or human. We have empathy for others, which lead us to save a complete stranger. The empathy is bond with the sense of relation. When seeing a person suffers, we may feel the same, and think of our own pains and sorrows. But most people simply don't relate that much to animals. And that's why animals are the least concerned in disasters. They are regarded as a kind of resource, which is, not that precious. That pisses me off, too.
