Often ignored, pets play a significant role in domestic violence:

 ·         Up to 75% of domestic violence victims’ report that their partners threatened or killed family pets.

·         The Human Society of the United States (HSUS) estimates that nearly 1,000,000 animals a year are abused or killed in connection with domestic violence.

·         A Survey of the 50 largest U.S. shelters for battered women found that 85% of women and 63% of children entering shelters discussed incidents of pet abuse in their family.
