Talk:Animal loss

message: I'm new to editing pages on Wikipedia, but I would like to help revive this page and make it better.  I've already tried deleting an external link that was linked to a GoDaddy page, so it seemed appropriate delete since it has nothing to do with this page.  I want to make huge changes, but I'm a little afraid to make them.  Kuzain suggested to deleted this page since there is a lot to change.  If this page does need to be deleted then perhaps it can be moved to Wikiversity since there is a lot of instructional content on this page? For now I will try to clean up the external links as best as possible. -- Loera1 00:17, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Newcomer in need of help

message: This article is in need of serious attention but I am afraid I am not quite sure what to do with it.  I was tempted to simply request that it be deleted but ultimately decided that I was not familiar enough with the deletion policy to do so.  As it stands now, the article is incomplete with many headers for areas that don't exist yet and is generally poorly formatted.  This article also discusses a "rainbow bridge" which is not a belief held by any majority or significant minority.  While many people do have systems for discussing the passing of an animal ("went to live on a farm," "ran away," ect) and these do deserve mention, the article does not need to be anywhere near as focused on this "rainbow bridge" as it is.  I realize this is probably not a frequently visited article (I myself found it via the article on Death), but if anyone thinks they can clean this up please do so.  I myself will try if no one else takes it on in the next few days.  If anyone who happens upon this article and does feel competent enough to request deletion that would be an option as well. - Kuzain 19:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Attention

message: I have just added a couple of observations on how grief for a pet can differ from grief for a human, from the Grief and Pet Loss FAQ which used to be posted to rec.pets.cats.  I would also have added a link to this FAQ, were it not that it disappeared one day with a note that it was "suspended due to a legal problem over the manner in which some references were sited" and never reappeared.

replies: text: I'd like to see a section on books of memorial eulogies for companion animals, and also 'liturgical' and other ritual or nonritual events commemorating the lives of animals.  I once attended a Marxist theatrical commemoration of the love of labor losses by exploited nonhumans - that IMO was quite well-done. MaynardClark (talk) 20:20, 2 November 2021 (UTC)

thread_title: Rainbow bridge

message: :"Animal loss, grief over the loss of an animal"
Is this a correct summary? If this were the definition, I would think you would just call it 'animal grief'. Animal loss should probably refer to the subject of losing an animal, of which animal grief would be an aspect of since that is how grief is how many people react to loss.

replies: text:  Animal grief would appear to designate grief on the part of animals, which certainly seems to exist (in elephants, for example).  The current title therefore seems to me more appropriate. Paul Magnussen (talk) 17:28, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Link from [[Loss]]

message: This sounds improbable. Plenty of pets die on their own. The reference links don't support this claim. I am addign a citation needed tag. Ace of Sevens (talk) 09:23, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
