This one really got me.

Like most of us, I have been watching the developments in Japan with amazement at the shear scale of the damage and suffering.

I have until now though, felt almost detached from it all, as if not able to appreciate what's gone on. I've watched all the clips and followed the stories with interest but it's taken until watching this clip to get the old emotions running about it all.

Does this make me weird, that animals suffering gets to me more than people?

Anyway it's has got a happy ending.

To many people I suspect, but not to me.

I'm the same, animals are generally nicer creatures than a lot of human beings.

Im exactly the same... animals are far more defensless than us humans, they cant speak for themselves, they cant cry for help and they SO depend on us to help them...

Yep same here. As a rule people leave me cold, but animals suffering breaks my heart.

Amen to that. Dusty here, isn't it?

Same here, no logical reason for it but I regularly donate to animal charities instead of human charities. Even had a charity collector tell me to "get my priorities stright" after telling him I only give to animal charities - says it all really.

What really worries me is that a news item on an abused animal makes my blood boil and i'll read it back to front where as national stories on human abuse (Baby P for example) I will skate over. I think I need help

Awwww ... glad there was a happy ending!
