Animal abuse is at an all-time high, and the correlation between animal abuse and domestic and child abuse is undeniable, per in-depth studies. We require legislation that includes an offenders list for those who abuse animals, combined with awareness education in school (starting with primary grades), and psychological testing that identify a proclivity to commit such acts, from early childhood.
Why is this important?
The incidence of animal abuse is on the rise and has proved to be the first step toward future domestic and child abuse. We must speak up for the silent victims of abuse and prevent the escalation of these, and related, acts of cruelty.
