“The Honeymoon Cycle”
This is the pattern of
“serial abusers” where the

3. Domestic Violence
Government data scholarly studies of the prevalence of Domestic Violence not only involves Women
and Men and children but animal cruelty in domestic violence cases reveals a staggering number of
animals are victimized by abusive partners each year.
The HSUS estimates that nearly 1 million animals a year are abused or killed in connection with
domestic violence.
Statistics:
About 2,168,000 women and men are physically assaulted by an intimate partner in the U.S. every year
(U.S. Department of Justice, 2000).
63% of U.S. households own a pet (APPMA, 2006).
71% of domestic violence victims report that their abuser also targeted their animal (Ascione, 1997).
In 2007, 7% of media-reported animal cruelty cases either occured in the context of a domestic dispute
or involved a person with a history of domestic violence.

2 in every 5 men, no matter sexual preference, face
Domestic Violence Only it is not reported as often
and if major damage is done it is put of as
“roughhousing” or “joking around”
The fear of being labeled a wimp or weakling is
another reason they will not admit to the abuse.

12. Pet Abuse is the most silent part of Domestic Violence
This is mainly because of the attention that is received
by animal abuse advocates in general. However they
too suffer the aftermath and even the storm of
Domestic Violence. Since they cannot talk they can
not tell their story. They are left suffering alone.
