October is Domestic
Violence Awareness Month | |
| |
| |
 | 1 in 3 women and
1 in 4 men will experience
domestic abuse in their
lifetimes. | |  | As few as 10% of
domestic violence
shelters in the U.S.
accept pets. | | |
 | Nearly half of all victims
delay leaving because
they don’t want to leave
their pets behind. | |  | Over 70% of women
in domestic violence
shelters report their
abuser threatened,
injured or killed a pet
as a means of control. | | |
| The Purple Leash Project is working to change this. | |
| |
| |
If you or someone you love is being abused, call the Domestic Violence Hotline 24/7 at 1‑800‑799‑SAFE (7233). | |
