Oh this breaks my heart

What a beautiful but very sad story of a pitbull grieving for his dead mate. This reminds me of an incident that happened in my hometown over the winter - a pregnant female pitbull wet into labor out in the cold. All 4 of her pups died - animal control took forever to get out there. When they did, they removed the bodies of the pups but the mother stayed for days wandering the area looking for her pups. I know I can't save every animal, but I wish I could.
Why do people treat animals as if they are disposable & don't deserve the same respect of living free from harm? I know I know, circle of life stuff, it's just there are many people who are just so insensitive or detached from the emotions of other creatures. I've seen people in my home town speed up & 'act' like they're going to hit a dog that roaming the streets & it makes me angry. There are people who shoot their neighbors dogs with bb guns because they were barking & no one does anything - animal control or the police. What can be done? How do you deal with the sadness or what not that you feel when you see an animal suffering?
