Animal Cruelty and Domestic Violence

Silence and Domestic Violence
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), domestic violence comes in
many forms, including physical, sexual, and emotional violence, and threats. Killing, harming, or
threatening to harm animals are weapons used by abusers to manipulate victims into silence and
to destroy the comfort animals provide. Protecting victims of domestic violence will help protect
animals too.

How the Law Can Help

Legal cure involves improving the ability of domestic violence shelters to coordinate the protection of
animals. Laws that put custody of companion animals directly into legal protection orders allow judges to
help human and animal victims. Establishing ownership of animals often requires legal assistance and at
times can be difficult.

What YOU Can Do

Have a plan, Seek shelter, Seek legal advice, Advocate, and support the victims (animals).
