To answer the question, there is often more empathy about killed animals than humans because they are of a different species.

More specifically, people generally believe other creatures to be of lesser brilliance than humans but of no less relevance - especially in death.

Therefore, more concern is offered to the 'innocent' species that died under circumstances clearly beyond its ability to control.
