Animal loss
Since humankind first domesticated animals, the death of a pet or an animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss,〔(Pet loss and human emotion: a guide to recovery by Cheri Barton Ross, p.17 )〕 comparable with the death of a human loved one, or even greater depending on the individual. The death can be felt more intensely when the owner has made a decision to end the pet’s life through euthanasia.〔("A pet owners anguish" ), Pets in Peace, accessed April 25, 2011;〕 While there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals,〔(The emotional lives of animals by Marc Bekoff, p. 63 )〕 this article focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed.
==Effect of animal loss on humans==
There is no set amount of time for the grieving process to occur. However, mourning is much more intense for a pet upon whom the owner was emotionally dependent. Additionally, some pet owners may feel unable to express their grieving due to social mores surrounding pets. If the pet owner internalizes the grief, the suffering increases.〔The Loss of a Pet By Wallace Sife p. 37〕
The stages of grief proposed by Dr. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross was designed in relation to human death, but can be adapted to describe the grief process for the death of a pet.〔The Loss of a Pet By Wallace Sife p. 45〕 Indeed, pet death includes several lessons: 1) the relationship rather than the object (the animal) is central to understand the loss; 2) the manner of death/loss will affect the grieving process; 3) the age and living situation of the bereaved will affect the grieving process.〔Death and Dying, Life and Living By Charles A. Corr, Clyde Nabe, Donna M. Corr p. 261〕
