My mother, g-d bless her (she's not dead, so hates it when I call her "my sainted mother"), always used to say that she hated books and movies about dogs because they always die. Of course, this is also true of actual animals, but that's not the point. The point is that here is a very nice list of animal snuff literature, and except for the Steinbeck it doesn't even get into the rich trove of books in which the horsie gets it.
You may feel free to supplement your own most traumatic childhood animal book in the comments. I've got loads-- this was a staple subject of our childhood reading. Hey-- Ribsy made it through, didn't he? (Via Bookslut.)
