Supplementary files for article "Beyond disenfranchized grief: Survey and interview accounts of animal loss through and beyond COVID-19 in the United Kingdom"Although there was a rapidly growing body of literature on human-animal relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic, little attention was given to accounts of animal death through and beyond COVID-19. This paper reports on two connected studies undertaken after the end of COVID-19 restrictions in the United Kingdom, here focusing specifically on animal companion loss. From an online survey of 667 participants, 354 responded to an open-ended question about the loss of an animal. Content analysis of these data found participants commented about the timing of loss, how the loss occurred, and how they framed or accounted for the loss. From online interviews with 41 participants, 36 spoke about the loss of an animal. Themes of anticipatory grief, pandemic loss, and depth of connection were generated. The paper concludes by reconceptualizing animal bereavement to decenter human exceptionalism, and how this could further normalize the significance of animal loss.© The Auithor(s), CC BY-NC-ND 4.0《"超越被剥夺式哀伤（disenfranchized grief）：英国新冠疫情期间及之后的动物离世经历调研与访谈记录"补充文件》 尽管新冠疫情期间有关人兽关系的研究文献数量快速增长，但针对疫情期间及疫情结束后动物离世相关经历的关注却寥寥无几。本文报告了英国新冠疫情管控措施解除后开展的两项关联研究，本次研究聚焦伴侣动物（animal companion）离世议题。本次调研通过面向667名受访者开展的线上问卷，共有354人针对"动物离世"相关的开放式问题作出了回应。对这些数据进行内容分析后发现，受访者们谈及了离世发生的时间、离世的具体情形，以及他们如何阐释或看待此次离世经历。此外，研究团队对41名受访者开展了线上访谈，其中36人分享了自身的动物离世经历。研究提炼出三大核心主题：预期性哀伤（anticipatory grief）、疫情相关离世，以及人与动物联结的深度。本文最终对动物丧亲议题进行了概念重构，以去中心化人类例外论（human exceptionalism），并探讨了该重构如何能够进一步强化人们对动物离世重要性的认知与接纳。 © 作者，CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 协议。
