16 Days of NSWPF Activism: Animal Cruelty and Domestic Violence
NSW Police have announced the program 16 Days of Activism to combat domestic violence and animal cruelty.
Police in NSW attend 150,000 incidents of domestic and family violence each year or approximately one incident every four minutes. Violence, neglect or threats towards the family pet are often indicators of domestic and family violence.
