UK - Animal abuser turned murderer jailed for life. #BreakingTheLink independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…

This week, BVA President Anna Judson attended a Parliamentary event by APDAWG & Naturewatch Foundation on the link between violence towards animals & people. #DVAM2023

We RSPCA (England & Wales) are delighted that today it became illegal to post animal cruelty on the internet and social media as OnLine Safety Bill becomes an Act

Fantastic evening bringing together so many inspirational people working on different aspects of #TheLink -it’s a difficult, emotional topic, but it’s so important to keep talking about it and sharing progress 🐾

📢Did you know? We worked with The Links Group to help support veterinary professionals in recognising abuse in animal & humans. You can find out more about this work & download the guidance here 👇animalwelfarefoundation.org.uk/animal-welfare…

75% of those surveyed have said they've received sex education at school, but 1/3 said that they didn't cover topics such as domestic abuse, healthy relationships and controlling behaviours. The curriculum must do better to educate our young people about abuse.

So important that TV makers send out a clear message that controlling & abusive behaviour is not acceptable - #MAFSUK 's Brad asked to leave show.

'Distressing scenes last week caused domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid to speak out about his behaviour.'

🎉 Congratulations to our Chair Paula Boyden who was awarded the WSAVA One Health Award in Lisbon this week in recognition of her tireless work to highlight the role of veterinary teams in spotting signs of animal and domestic abuse. 👏👏

Fantastic news -it was great to have Anna Judson join us for our training day last week, encouraging the profession to learn about what they can do to help teams recognise and act on #TheLink
