In one comic of Calvin and Hobbes, the duo found a small dying verminbeast. They tried to resuscitate, and brought it to their mother. Despite their best efforts (even using the Cardboard box of imagination) the verminbeast died. This made them sad, but strengthened their connection to each other.

Because Roslyn isn't going to stick around after she deflowers him.

Simple:
>These people haven't had a raccoon problem.
>These people haven't had a number of pet deaths high enough to desensitize them to animal death.

>>26300282
Damn dude, there hasn't been a reaction like this since some troll asked who Picard was.

>>26338779
...It was Kirk.

>>26338630
Or
>These people remember their first or early pet deaths and remember how it felt and can empathize

>>26339540

This. It's less about feeling bad about this particular raccoon that we never see dying, it's more about empathizing with Calvin as he handles these complex emotions for the first time. Like you said, it relies on remembering when your first pet died.

RIP, Gunner. You were a better dog than I deserved.
