Societal Violence Is Linked to Animal Cruelty And Child Abuse

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 May 2009 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.

H. Res. 191 is currently pending before the House Judiciary Committee, and American Humane is working to move the Resolution to a House vote before May.
