“…Animal cruelty cases most commonly include species with near connections to people, mainly dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses (Otteman et al, 2022). In any case, animals such as pigs, cattle, goats, llamas, and extraordinary species, including reptiles, birds, marsupials, aquatics, captive wild animals, and all others may be victims of disregard or abuse.…”

Domestic violence includes violence that occurs between family members (parents, partners, siblings, or multi-generational family members, e.g. parents and grandparents). Witnessing domestic violence refers to situations in which a child witnesses frequent and prolonged verbal or physical violence between parents or other family members. Family violence is considered to be all threatening, coercive, or controlling actions used by one family member towards another. Domestic violence is one of the most difficult emotional situations because the attacker is a person the victims trust. If there is no reaction, the consequences for the victim and all the family members can be far-reaching -anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. If there is a danger of violent behavior, it is necessary to seek the help of institutions. These are the police, the state attorney's office, the competent center for social welfare, and the health institution, which have the obligation to act further in cases of domestic violence.

Animal cruelty has been a criminal offence in Hungary since 2004 and the legislator has tightened and differentiated the regulations in several waves since then. However, it is not an exaggeration to say that the public is often impatient and dissatisfied with the actions of the authorities in relation to animal cruelty. In our research, based on the data of the Criminal Investigation Department of the National Police Headquarters, we examined the opinions of 99 out of a total of 155 police stations in Hungary whose staff currently working there had experience in dealing with animal cruelty. The investigators gave their opinion on a total of 1169 cases in which some kind of police action was taken, either following a report to the police or as a result of their own investigative actions. In another survey, we questioned those members of society who are most committed to animal protection using a self-completion questionnaire. The questionnaire sent to the 116 Hungarian animal welfare non-governmental organisations (NGOs) on the publicly available lists was also posted for a short period on the social networking site of NGO activists. Among those who responded, a total of 150 identified as active participants in the animal protection work of these NGOs. The picture of the police treatment of animal cruelty, as perceived by NGOs working in the field of animal protection, is significantly less favourable than suggested by the police data. According to the official data, 77.7% of reports initiated an investigation, while the vast majority of animal welfare activists (81.3%) suspects that only 25% of the reports result in action by the prosecuting authority.
