A short poll on social media indicated that about 70% of respondents were aware that animal abuse and domestic violence could occur together. Of these, 40% had learned about it through direct sources (personal experience, work, or close ones) while the remaining 60% through indirect sources (news, books, online). While the above survey is by no means representative of the community’s response towards the animal-human link in violence, it does give an indication of the prevalence of such a phenomenon in society.
