Domestic Violence. A marker as simple as how someone treats their pets.

Although domestic abuse has seen a decline in recent years, there are still millions — millions — of Americans who endure it each year. Not only is it a terrible way way to live — domestic violence victims never deserve to be abused, period — it’s behavior that should never be tolerated.
