When I was a little kid, I felt worse when an animal died in a movie than when a person died. [View all]

Then I grew up.

Do I still feel bad when animals die? Yes. But I also have sympathy for human beings when they die - that is, all human beings, not just those who I like or whose behavior I approve of.

So, a deer hunting comedian died. He was 50 years old - that's too young, and it's sad.
