To investigate the effect of intimate partner violence (IPV) on companion animal welfare.
Self-selected telephone survey of people meeting the criteria.
Members of the Australian public with experience of IPV and concurrent companion animal ownership were invited to telephone a researcher for a semi-structured interview.
In total, 26 Australian women reported one or more companion animals in the household being verbally and/or physically abused by their male partner, usually with prolonged effects on animal behaviour; 92% indicated that they had been unwilling to discuss the animal abuse with a veterinarian. Many were unaware of animal accommodation services for people fleeing violence and those who did know about these were unwilling to use them, citing their bond with the animals as the main reason. Animals targeted for abuse were most likely to be dogs and owned by women rather than men, children or both partners.
Animals can be severely affected by domestic violence situations and many people experiencing violence are unwilling to confide in veterinarians or seek help from animal shelters.
调查亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）对伴侣动物福利的影响。
对符合标准的人群进行自我选择的电话调查。
邀请有亲密伴侣暴力经历且同时拥有伴侣动物的澳大利亚公众致电研究人员进行半结构化访谈。
共有26名澳大利亚女性报告称，家中的一只或多只伴侣动物遭到其男性伴侣的言语和/或身体虐待，通常对动物行为产生长期影响；92%的人表示，她们不愿意与兽医讨论动物虐待问题。许多人不知道为逃离暴力的人提供的动物安置服务，而那些知道这些服务的人也不愿意使用，主要原因是他们与动物的亲密关系。遭受虐待的动物最有可能是狗，且主人为女性而非男性、儿童或夫妻双方。
动物会受到家庭暴力情况的严重影响，许多遭受暴力的人不愿意向兽医倾诉或向动物收容所寻求帮助。
