This qualitative study was conducted during the first Italian COVID-19 lock- down (Spring 2020) and focuses on how people living with companion animals in Italy perceived and represented their interspecies relationships in this con- tingency. Adopting an ecofeminist, intersectional, and antispeciesist approach, I considered an ecology of personal experiences and systemic interconnections linking human and non-human animals in the context of the COVID-19 pan- demic, where the hierarchies and paradoxes of consumption as well as the care and the life and death of animals are connected by a variety of practices and meanings.

Abstract
This qualitative study was conducted during the first Italian COVID-19 lock- down (Spring 2020) and focuses on how people living with companion animals in Italy perceived and represented their interspecies relationships in this con- tingency. Adopting an ecofeminist, intersectional, and antispeciesist approach, I considered an ecology of personal experiences and systemic interconnections linking human and non-human animals in the context of the COVID-19 pan- demic, where the hierarchies and paradoxes of consumption as well as the care and the life and death of animals are connected by a variety of practices and meanings.
