The loss of a pet or an animal to which one has become emotionally bonded can be an intense loss, comparable with the death of a human loved one, or even greater depending on the individual. While there is strong evidence that animals can feel such loss for other animals, this article focuses on human feelings, when an animal is lost, dies or otherwise is departed. Effect of animal loss on humansThere 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. Also, there can be a difference between male and female reactions to the loss of a pet. Men, especially in Western cultures, are socialized to internalize their feelings, and so though pet ownership is divided equally between males and females, males may feel it necessary to hide their grief. 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 loss of a pet. Indeed, pet loss 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.

There is no question that some animals feel grief at the loss of their young, or another companion they were close to. I once saw a zebra foal killed by hyenas - the mother chased them off and stood guard over the dead foal for a day and a night, keeping the hungry predators at bay and nudging her baby repeatedly as if trying to encourage it to get up. It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. Many animals are known to mourn when a member of their group dies. Grey wolves, for example, will cease play for around 6 weeks after the death of a member of the pack. They howl often as if calling to the missing individual, and if they know the place where he or she died will return to it frequently, as though searching for him or her.… [cont.] Answered by Leolupus - Mon Jan 26 08:09:45 2009 Would a injection of ethanol be a good way to euthanize a small animal?
Q. I don't plan to do it but it is just a random thought. Would a lethal dose of ethanol be a efficient and painless way to euthanize a small animal. From what i know small dosages administered directly in the bloodstream causes almost instant drunkenness. Of course being drunk usually eliminates any pain and loss of consciousness will shortly follow if the blood alcohol concentration is high enough. Sounds painless, I was just Curious if that was actually the case.
