“…The participation of veterinarians should center on the aspects of clinical medicine and animal health and nutrition, but they should also educate owners on pet management [64] and explain the relation between the mistreatment of animals and domestic violence. Several studies investigated the relationship between domestic violence and animal abuse [105][106][107][108][109][110][111]. Furthermore, veterinarians are inclined to detect this type of animal abuse, since they can exhibit direct contact with the animals that suffered from it [107].…”

In this article, we gathered information from postgraduate theses and scientific articles published in several databases using inclusion criteria that had been made in Latin America, in countries with similar economic conditions, and also in the USA to present a point of comparison. The objective of this review is to broaden the readers' understanding of the causes of the increasing numbers of stray dogs and the reasons why people abandon pets in the streets, specifically in Latin America. It also discusses adoption and responsible ownership, identifies what failed in promoting positive human-dog interaction, and suggests strategies to address this problem. It concludes that adoption alone is not an effective solution but that it is necessary to offer education and awareness programs for owners, organize sterilization campaigns, and develop and apply – with the corresponding authorities – measures to ensure animal welfare that will provide benefits for society and improve animal quality of life. The role of veterinarians is fundamental in education and in disseminating the necessary information to orient people before they acquire a pet and prevent animal abandonment to resolve this problem.

Проте, випадки жорстокого поводження з тваринами, їх мордування, скалічення та вбивства нині залишаються численними, а, отже, проблема кримінально-правової охорони моральності у сфері захисту тварин є актуальною, як в Україні, так і в світі (Holovko, 2010; Statichna zvіtnіst' Upravlіnnja organіzovanogo zabezpechennja ЄRDR…; Edwards, 2019; Monsalve, Pereira, Leite, Polo, & Garcia, 2019;White, & Quick, 2019;Alleyne, & Parfitt, 2019;Alleyne, Tilston, Parfitt, & Butcher, 2015;Arluke, Levin, Luke, & Ascione, 1999;Richard, & Reese, 2019).

“…The socioemotional well-being of children who witness domestic violence-often perpetrated by the mother's intimate partner-may be compromised, leaving them at a higher risk of committing animal abuse themselves [23]. Thus, animal abuse can serve as an indicator of child abuse, family violence, or violent criminal behavior [24]. The first report to show a relationship between interpersonal violence and animal abuse was published by Pinel in 1806.…”

For years now, the importance of animal cruelty has been gaining recognition in the industrialized cities of the West. Animal cruelty encompasses any act that causes a non-human animal unnecessary pain or suffering, including negligence, abandonment, abuse, torture, bestiality, and even theriocide. This represents a red flag for society as a whole because people who commit such acts can escalate violence and direct it to other individuals. Animal cruelty and interpersonal violence—as well as other socially undesirable conduct such as bullying, antisocial personality disorder, rape, and serial murder—are closely related, so timely diagnoses of either one can help prevent acts of aggression. It is necessary, therefore, to analyze and try to understand whether there are early indicators that may help identify potentially violent individuals. It is well known that kids from homes with actual violence in their homes show a high tendency to reproduce such behaviors with both animals and other people. In conclusion, much research and rethinking of the importance of the veterinarian in detecting animal abuse and cruelty is needed to help detect and prevent cases of interpersonal violence that may arise over time.
