How do y'all manage debilitating empathy for inanimate objects?

This little guy is someone's failed attempt at a 3D printed bunny that was angrily thrown in the trash. My reaction was a visceral panic at how awful it might "feel". I had to literally dumpster dive to find it but now it lives with me. I've always been this way and the struggle is real.

Came upon this yard in the unlikeliest of places

..deep in rural BF South Carolina where 2.5 rusted out ElCaminos and half a dozen lawn mowers in disrepair were scattered around the yard. It's been a long time since I've observed evidence of anything other than willful ignorance (at best).

Could this cause the hospital to "lose" their patients' outstanding account balances?

This is on every computer at every nurses' station, it's on every screen on every floor of the hospital. It's like the apocalypse in this place. Everyone is running around with clipboards and copy paper. No one is being medicated because the access to the pharmacy is gone. Automatic doors don't open. The AC won't work. No monitors/life support/etc. directly connected to patients have been compromised but everything else is just... out of order. All of the older nurses and doctors remember how to function without computers & they're doing their best in the chaos but the younger ones are literally running around in tears.
