Abstract
We present the results of our analysis of the sentiments of guardians in Spain following the death of a companion animal, as well as their potential use of cemeteries/crematoriums, based on a personal survey that was completed by 197 guardians. Factor analysis revealed the existence of three dimensions. The first focused on emotional reactions following a companion animal’s death. The second considered personal relationships that developed between guardians and their companion animals. Finally, the third focused on benefits or value offered by a companion animal. Four segments were obtained by cluster analysis. The largest segment had the strongest intention of using/reusing cemetery or cremation services (3.2 out of 5). It was also the only segment which placed value on emotional reactions upon a companion’s death. The results showed that a strong bond between guardians and companion animals was associated with a higher probability that burial or cremation services would be used.
期刊介绍：
Society & Animals publishes studies that describe and analyze our experiences of non-human animals from the perspective of various disciplines within both the Social Sciences (e.g., psychology, sociology, anthropology, political science) and the Humanities (e.g., history, literary criticism).
The journal specifically deals with subjects such as human-animal interactions in various settings (animal cruelty, the therapeutic uses of animals), the applied uses of animals (research, education, medicine and agriculture), the use of animals in popular culture (e.g. dog-fighting, circus, animal companion, animal research), attitudes toward animals as affected by different socializing agencies and strategies, representations of animals in literature, the history of the domestication of animals, the politics of animal welfare, and the constitution of the animal rights movement.
