This presentation explores the issue of liminal animals and their status in the Anthropocene. Contemporary scholar contributions to animal-human connectivity of liminal animals will be presented to provide understanding how humans have affected and been affected by liminal animals.

The need to adapt to environmental changes has become a crucial factor in the lives of many previously wild animals. Some of these liminal animals may have been even self-domesticating, such as urban foxes.

Serious hygienic and epidemic issues have been linked to strays during history. Local governments still employ lethal, non-ethical solutions to this problem, although it makes both fiscal and ethical sense to develop sterilization programs as a means of humanely curbing overpopulation.

We will discuss how a humane response to liminal animals benefits for the environment, the community, and of course those animals.
