Connecticut bill re-introduced on animal cruelty and child abuse

Legislation which would require the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and the Department of Agriculture to cross-report animal cruelty and child abuse is is being reintroduced.

The bill failed to pass earlier this year.

Research has shown that there exists a connection between those who abuse animals and those who abuse children. The purpose of the bill is to identify those individuals with this increased propensity for abuse and to intervene before abuse or violence occurs.

The bill is scheduled to be revived next year.
