My general reasoning is that most stories that involve animal suffering also involve a human that is to blame for that suffering. But, in reality, it's a much less logical issue for me. I've met maybe 2 animals (excluding frogs again) in my life that have sucked. The number of sucky people I've met is much greater.
Kids definitely rank up there. Animals still take the cake, because they can't communicate with us, and they are less likely to become sucky people when they grow up.
