Animals During the Pandemic (19 photos)

During the coronavirus-related lockdowns around the world, many animals are being affected in varying ways. Some animals are in need of more care, while others are helping people cope. Pet adoptions are up, while meat plant closures are leading to the euthanizing of livestock. Wild animals who live adjacent to human settlements are ranging out into newly-empty spaces, while stray city animals are starving because the people who normally left the scraps they eat are all staying home. Collected here, a handful of images of animals around the world, both affected by, and coping with, a suddenly-changed world.
