Societal Violence Is Linked to Animal Cruelty And Child Abuse

Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: American Humane Association
The Link® between child abuse and animal cruelty, as well as other forms of societal violence is internationally recognized, yet so much more can and must be done to address this disturbing connection.

With the support of Congresswoman Susan Davis (D-CA), American Humane recently filed a Resolution in the House of Representatives that would designate September 2008 as Link Awareness Month.

Representative Davis has a reputation as a powerful advocate of child and animal advocate and a longstanding member of the Congressional Friends of Animals Caucus. The resolution was filed with 13 original co-sponsors.

H.R. 1046 is currently pending before the House Judiciary Committee, and American Humane is working to move the Resolution to a House vote before September.
