Abstract

The coronavirus broke out in 2019 and is prevalent in the world because it is highly contagious. The virus dramatically impacted the world no matter in economics or medicine. People still have to wear masks to prevent the spread of the disease. The essay investigates mainly the relationship between animals and humans. To attain more information, the author conducted a survey and collected more than 100 responses regarding lives of animals during the pandemic. Furthermore, the author selected some essays that investigated the topic deeply and provided answers from different perspectives. After examining a survey and other academic sources, the results showed that a minority of people do believe animals are dangerous in the pandemic and thus abandoned their pets. However, majority of people wished to adopt animals to accompany them in the quarantine in order to reduce the panic and loneliness. Therefore, people still maintained stable and peaceful relationships with animals regardless of misleading reports.
