Compassion has a way of becoming fashionable, and the media in the West are presently into it, big time. But it’s selective as the Western media dominate. Animal deaths and sudden deaths of people in “developing” countries like India or Zimbabwe are not nearly as compassion-worthy as lives in the West. Witness the recent London terrorist attacks or bombs on the Red Sea. Jesus Christ exhibited compassion even while being crucified, as he begged God to forgive his tormenters. But Vasudeva Datta, one might say, went a step further by asking God to transfer the sins of ALL living entities to himself. (CC, Madhya, 15.163 and purport)
