Disasters do not just affect humans. And humans do not only live with, care for or interact with other humans. In this conceptual article, we explain how animals are relevant to green and disaster social work. Power, oppression and politics are our themes. We start the discussion by defining disasters and providing examples of how three categories of animals are affected by disasters, including in the current COVID-19 pandemic. They are: companion animals (pets), farmed animals (livestock) and free-living animals (wildlife), all of whom we classify as oppressed populations. Intersectional feminist, de-colonising and green social work ideas are discussed in relation to disaster social work. We argue that social work needs to include nonhuman animals in its consideration of person-in-environment, and offer an expanded version of feminist intersectionality inclusive of species as a way forward.

灾难社会工作中的动物：包容物种的交叉绿色视角


灾难不仅仅影响人类。人类不仅与其他人一起生活、照顾或互动。在这篇概念性文章中，我们解释了动物如何与绿色和灾难社会工作相关。权力、压迫和政治是我们的主题。我们首先定义灾害并提供三类动物如何受到灾害影响的示例，包括当前的 COVID-19 大流行。它们是：伴侣动物（宠物）、养殖动物（牲畜）和自由生活的动物（野生动物），我们将所有这些动物归类为受压迫群体。讨论了与灾害社会工作相关的交叉女权主义、去殖民化和绿色社会工作理念。我们认为，社会工作需要将非人类动物纳入对人与环境的考虑中，并提供包含物种在内的女权主义交叉性的扩展版本，作为前进的道路。
