Summary

A growing global focus on the integration of animal welfare and the natural ecosystem in large cities highlights the importance of carefully evaluating the presence of domestic animals. The Round Table on Wild EX in the City offers concrete data demonstrating a marked trend in cases where direct contact with humans is caused not by necessity, but by direct physical interaction with the animal. These contact scenarios require that members of society commit to protecting natural territory and limiting non-therapeutic or unnecessary contact with pets, especially in urban spaces where relationships with people are often frequent and potentially traumatic. Analysis of recent publications in this field shows us how people are forced to change attitudes towards pets due to growing awareness of threats to social and ecological integration. Furthermore, urban communities are developing new strategies to manage the space and behaviors of animals such as dogs and cats, recognizing that more proactive and respectful management of communities and population dynamics would be fundamental to avoid accidents and the loss of local biodiversity. These events highlight how intercultural dialogue can transform interactions with animals into opportunities for growth, preventing constant contact with our pets from becoming a source of pain or fear for community members. The goal is to ensure that people understand their ethical duties, adopting responsible behavior and allowing their animals to live in harmony with their urban and natural life.
