There are living creatures that you do not even know exist. I hope you feel bad when they die because if you don't then you are a monster.

Do they have a central nervous system? If they don't (like plants), then they don't feel any pain. Vertebrate animals, on the other hand, can feel pain and suffering.
Are you an edgy teenager who believes that behaving like a psychopath makes you cool? Lacking empathy is the main characteristic of psychopathy.

I have empathy. I'm not acting like a psychopath, you're just being a tool.
No one, you included, can possibly care about every living thing on the planet.
You don't even know how many things are alive on the planet. How can you possibly care about things that do not exist?

I do feel a little bit bad knowing that they suffer at times and some of them experience horrible deaths... because I'm not a monster.
