“Domestic Violence and Animal Cruelty: Untangling the Web of Abuse”

 Catherine Faver’s article “Domestic Violence and Animal Cruelty: Untangling the Web of Abuse” is most similar to Sarah Degue’s article “Is Animal Cruelty a ‘Red Flag’ for Family Violence?” Both of these articles focus on how domestic violence can be found by looking at cases of animal abuse. Sarah Degue cites one of Catherine Faver’s other works in her article. Clifton P. Flynn also uses a couple of Catherine Faver’s writings in his article “Examining the links between animal abuse and human violence.” Degue supports Faver’s claim that batterers abuse animal to show dominance over their victims. Both Degue and Faver also mention Clifton P. Flynn’s article “Why family professionals can no longer ignore violence toward animals.” While I am not using this article, I am using one of Flynn’s works in which he cites an article by Faver. Catherine Faver’s article will help the reader better understand the other sources because it covers pretty much all the same aspects of the other articles in one way or another. It is also very clearly written which helps with the flow of reading the information. Since so many of my sources do overlap, writing about them fluently shouldn’t be too difficult. For articles that mention the same study, I can compare what each author said about it.
