Take animal abuse more seriously & hopefully the escalation of the violence can be limited most times. In San Francisco at the time animal control officers were trained to look for child abuse & DV evidence when entering homes to assist animals & then to share this info with family services. finally in Brisbane DV services & the RSPCA have partnered to provide foster families to the pets of women needing to relocate to shelters. not surprisingly many women weren't leaving abusive situations cause they were fearful for their animals that they can't take with them. as a society we do have a long way to go..... but cavies like you help make that possible. mwah Mwahmwah XXXclingycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01105691971260766161noreply@blogger.com
