The Link Between Animal Abuse
And Domestic Violence
We at Go-Green Products are proud to announce that the National Link Coalition has allowed us to publish their vital information on the “Link” between animal abuse and domestic violence. The readings below are compelling and shocking. We feel this is one of the most important readings anyone can absorb. The tireless efforts of the National Link Coalition should be championed throughout this country. You may not be aware that You, most likely, have witnessed the abuses in some form or even engaged in such abuses. Please educate yourselves with these invaluable articles so we all can be a part of understanding and stopping the abuses of animals and humans alike.
What is “The Link”
Over the past 35 years, researchers and professionals in a variety of human services and animal welfare disciplines have established significant correlations between animal abuse, child abuse, neglect, domestic violence, elder abuse and other forms of violence. Mistreating animals is no longer seen as an isolated incident that can be ignored: it is often an indicator or predictor of crime and a “red flag” warning sign that other family members in the household may not be safe.
They call this species-spanning interconnectedness of different forms of violence; The Link. The National Link Coalition is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative initiative to increase awareness and address public policy, programs and research. They serve as the National Resource Center on The Link between Animal Abuse and Human Violence. They want to stop the cycle of violence that often affects multiple family members. To achieve this critical goal, they need your help. Read more about The Link. Visit their online library to learn even more.
