This panel, with presenters from the fields of Sociology and Anthropology, offered rich
ethnographic data and discussed cultural, social, and structural meanings of pets in
post-familial Japan. The panel takes into consideration both the diversity of pets as
well as the heterogeneity of Japanese owners, non-owners, and animal welfare
activists, their approaches and feelings towards or against pets and the roles they
assign to them.
