Is it normal?
I love animals very much and I would do anything to save them as best I can. But I can't help but think that I may like animals more that people. Is this normal for a person?

Technically, humans are indeed animals, rather, an advanced type of animals. Liking animals more than humans may be a result of some psychological conflict in your past that I will not evaluate.
You will always love what you love, just no animalistic stuff please.

I can't say that it is normal or not normal. And this may not even be the reason why for you, But I have noticed that in today's time, more people are having difficulties learning how to connect socially with other humans especially with technology available today of computer social sites, texting and such where we never learn how to interact with other humans face to face on a daily level. So instead of working harder to learn how to have relationships at any level, friends, mates, etc... we decide it's less hassle to like and care about animals because they won't complain or take things wrong if you don't word something right, they won't get upset if you come home later one day and fail to explain what held you up, etc.... With a pet, we get to transfer some of those human needs to interact with another human to an animal. Some lonely women who never married and had kids still have a maternal need and thus they make their pets their children. Not saying thats bad, I believe pets are family members too and have an important place in the family, but it just seems to go to an extreme with some folks in my opinion. However, as long as it doesnt hurt anyone that you prefer animals to humans, and you don't find yourself lacking anything in relying solely on animals for interaction, then i see nothing wrong with following what please your heart.
