Abstract
- The article discusses the growing evidence of animals grieving the loss of loved ones, citing examples like the orca Tahlequah and young gorilla Segasira. It highlights the importance of not imposing human biases on nonhuman mourning behaviors, using the example of dogs potentially eating their deceased owners as a form of grief. The author calls for a shift away from anthropocentric perspectives in studying animal grief and urges researchers to explore diverse ways in which animals may understand and cope with mortality.
