2 The Human-Animal Bond No-one who looks at the evidence can doubt that animals improve the quality of modern human life... The Biophilia Hypothesis
3 Social and Support
4 Health and Healing
5 Education and Empathy
6 Safety and Security
7 The Link Between Animal Cruelty and Domestic and Family Violence
8 The Link When animals are abused, people are at risk; Domestic Violence Child Abuse Elder Abuse When people are abused, animals are at risk. Animal Abuse (The National Link Coalition)
9 Domestic Violence and Animal Cruelty 1,677 cases of animal cruelty 21% involved some sort of family violence Domestic Violence 13% Child Abuse 7% Elder Abuse 1% The Humane Society of the United States (2001 Report of Animal Cruelty Cases)
10 National Domestic Violence Shelter Survey: 71% of DV shelters reported abusers threatened, harmed or killed animals. (Ascione, Weber, & Wood,1997)
11 Domestic violence abusers use animals to: demonstrate power and control; isolate victims and children; perpetuate fear; prevent victims from leaving; coerce victims to return; carry out abusive acts (animals as weapons).
12 Animals as Weapons Abusers often: train pets to attack partners, children, others; reward pets for harming/threatening responders. As a result, animals are often: hurt while attacking others; euthanized for seeming unsafe and vicious.
13 Domestic Violence, Pet Abuse, and Children: Consequences of Exposure
14 Abused children and pets are often Considered expendable; Lack confidence in adults to protect them; Struggle to communicate what abuser is doing; Are conflicted by feelings of loyalty and fear; Become desensitized to violence; Experience decreased empathy for others; Imitate the violence ( modeling behavior).
15 In a domestic violence shelter survey: 50% of children said they had protected their pet by intervening against the abuser. (Ascione, Weber, & Wood, 1997)
16 Gullone study (2011) Strong connection between child witnessing of animal abuse and engaging in animal abuse & bullying behavior Of children in DV shelters: 67% reported witnessing abuse of family pet 60% were very upset about harm to pet(s) 37% progressed to harming or killing pets
17 Considerations for Working With Survivors and Families
18 Pets are often barriers to safety: Victims reported living in cars with pets for up to four months until opening was available at a petfriendly safe house. Twelve (12) independent surveys report 18 48% of victims delayed leaving/returned out of fear for welfare of pets. (Kogan et al., 2004).
19 Pets may help victims disclose Victims unable to disclose victimization often able to disclose abuse of pets. Children may not talk directly about pet abuse, but may report having many pets that have died or disappeared without explanation.
20 In a recent study, victims: Reported abusers use of animals as control tactic; Wanted to be asked about pets at intake; Felt lack of control over inability to leave pet; Requested safe options for pets; Wanted vets to offer safe, affordable pet housing; (Hardesty et al., 2013)
21 When working with victims, consider: Including questions about threats/injuries to current/former pets on intake questionnaires; Including pets in safety planning; Adding animals to OP petition.
22 Prevention and Response Screen for pet/animal abuse Are there animals at home? How are they cared for? Are you worried about them for any reason? Report Abuse Document facts, direct quotes, specific observations, and any actions taken. Develop Interdisciplinary Task Forces and Coalitions Cross training Cross reporting Develop Partnerships
23 Conclusion Animal abuse must be included as a part of the response to family violence. Asking the questions, documenting answers and developing resources are critical to assessment, intervention, and prevention.
24 Resources American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Humane Law Enforcement Division: Agency within ASPCA that enforces animal related laws, and investigates reports of animal cruelty. National Link Coalition: Resource Center on the link between animal abuse and human violence Sheltering Animals and Families Together (SAF-T): Provides information, training, and assistance regarding pet friendly domestic violence shelters.
