I think the difference is that the act of viewing child porn is also a crime.
Perhaps the reason for that being a crime is to discourage the existence of child porn, while we should also be discouraging the existence of animal cruelty. But that's a matter to take up with our society.
And good luck with that.
Or perhaps society deems of viewing child porn a crime in and of itself. Surely, you don't imagine that our laws keep themselves out of our harm-no one personal activities, do you?
