Are you a vegetarian? (Just curious)
But assuming it is just 'your pets' whose death would make you so sad, it seems you are obsessed with the personalized ownership aspect of pet ownership. That means that the sense of ownership over a living object and the loss of that control is as emotionally tramatizing as losing a loved family member. While this type of thinking seems pretty normal these days it seems to be pretty far removed from any sense of a moral compass. It is a perversion of humanity away from what i can see as Jesus' teaching. Lifestyle products like pets should never ever equal the value to you of living people.
Would Jesus prefer you feel ownership over what essentially amounts to a consumer product over human life? Maybe, but i personally doubt it.

You don't get it....it is about the human emotion of attachment not the object.
