Probably because your fellow man is not innocent like an animal is.
The human ego (defensive survival strategy) is a handicap until it is released - not many of us can continuously be in that state. Animals are not run/burdened by ego - instinct runs *their* lives.

BTW, me too (your statement). Not strange.
