As companion animals become members of our families, they experience both the joy and pain of belonging. In a healthy family they experience the joy -- in a dysfunctional family they share in the pain and abuse. Animal cruelty is an indicator of serious problems in a family. The youth that tortures cats or dogs, may in fact, grow up to harm or kill humans. The parent who abuses the family pet may also be abusing their children. The child who hurts an animal may already be a victim of, or a witness to family violence. |

The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated. -Ghandi Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives. Albert Schweitzer |

| Family Violence and Animal Cruelty |
When I began this page -- I knew lots of
people didn't understand "the Link"
between animal cruelty and human violence. My pets and I

violence. We cannot continue to say "oh,

"boys will be boys". Animal abuse is NOT
a normal part of growing up. |
