Animal abusers come in all shapes and sizes: report

Animal cruelty is not limited to ‘anti-social’ families, or young men, according to a new study. ‘There is only a small group of people who deliberately set out to abuse animals but we can’t be sure,’ criminologist and researcher Anton van Wijk told the Volkskrant. ‘We have a very good law that says animal abuse is a crime but without proof or evidence there’s not much we can do,’ the paper quotes police animal welfare coordinator Anouk Duijnker as saying. ‘That is the type of behaviour that should worry police because apart from group pressure, there is a sadistic element to it,’ Van Wijk told the paper. This is vital information, according to police, because animal cruelty is ‘a red flag’ that can signal domestic violence.
