Across the news today… another horrific example of the sexual abuse of animals where child abuse material was also evident. Warning as this article is distressing, but these are conversations we need to have in order to safeguard people and animals.

Adam Britton pleaded guilty to 60 charges, which also included four counts of accessing child abuse material.

We know football can escalate domestic abuse. If you are experiencing domestic abuse you can find support numbers including our animal fostering services on our website #TheLink.#Safeguardingpeopleandanimals.

We raise awareness of the link between the abuse of animals through support, training and inter-agency working.
A powerful article that we are pleased to have been a part of with the @independant reveals how football, although not the cause, can be a catalyst for domestic violence. We're glad to see this topic getting the discourse it deserves. Full article:

The @emmerdale storyline is very distressing, but animals are too often used as a tool of domestic abuse & anyone can be an abuser. It’s why we help vets teams recognise and act on non-accidental injury & suspicions of coercive control & abuse. #TheLink #Emmerdale.
These scenes can be distressing to watch, but we want to remind you that Minnie (AKA Piper) is a very good actor and is always living her best life on set! We can confirm that no harm has come to her whatsoever 🐾 🐶 . #Emmerdale
