violence raged across Syria, famine loomed in South Sudan and stories of children beaten or mistreated surfaced in America. Was there as large an outcry?But do people really care more about harm to dogs than to humans?To find out, we had 240 students at the school where we teach, Northeastern University, read one of four fictitious news stories that depicted either a puppy, an adult dog, a human infant or a 30-year-old human being severely beaten with a baseball bat. The students were then asked to rate how much sympathy and distress they felt for the assault victim.The bottom line is that the subjects did not necessarily care more about dogs than people: They cared more about creatures who were perceived as innocent and helpless, regardless of whether they had two legs or four. Full-grown adults are more likely to be seen as capable of taking care of themselves. Infants, puppies and adult dogs are not. By contrast, media reports of horrific human violence tend to focus not on the victim but on the killers. Every aspect of their troubled childhood, failed relationships and lack of success is presented in great detail. In some cases, the violent perpetrator becomes a national celebrity. All too often, the killer is remembered for decades while the victims are quickly forgottenPerhaps then more people will be just as troubled, if not more so, when they read about the victimization of fellow humans.
