I tend to see things of this nature like you do. I didnt get sad over Barbaro and i really dont miss a step when a horse gets injured at the track. I wouldnt get upset about the neighbor's dog dying. But at the same time, I try to be respectful to the people who feel diffferently.
The only thing that gets me is that people think that Barbaro should be named champion because he got injured. If the neighbor's dog was killed and he was entered in a contest before he died, should he then automatically be named best in show?

What's up with that? Were you abused as a kid or something? How could you be so numb that it wouldn't hurt you to see an animal (or a person) suffering? I'm not normally one to talk about what is "normal", but that is definitely not normal. I think it is a normal human emotion to feel sad if we see an animal or a person in pain.
