Abstract

CARAVACA-LLAMAS, Carmen  and  SAEZ-OLMOS, josé. Violence on Pets as a Marker of Gender-Based Violence. Tabula Rasa [online]. 2022, n.41, pp.269-286.  Epub Apr 28, 2022. ISSN 1794-2489.  https://doi.org/10.25058/20112742.n41.12.

This documentary qualitative research aims to inquire if scientific literature studies violence towards pets by attackers who previously exerted gender-based violence on their female masters, as a typology of chauvinist violence, and as such, as a factor to look for and assess. The results obtained from the analysis of the documentary corpus show such a connection actually exists, however it is not mentioned in most of practitioner’s instruments and protocols. The most significant finding from this study is a solid ground to include violence on pets as a social factor to be looked for and considered when studying chauvinist violence, and an invitation to reflect upon the need to adapt protection resources for victims.

Keywords : Gender-based violence; domestic violence; environmental gender violence; physical abuse; pets, companion animals; animal abuse; markers; documentary review.
