ARE ANIMALS OUR BEST FRIENDS IN COMBATTING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE?

Phil Arkow from the Link Coalition tells us "Animal abuse is a human welfare issue"

We discuss this with Lydia Tong, Veterinarian and Research Affiliate with the University of Sydney & we hear from CEO of RSPCA Victoria, Liz Walker about the RSPCA submission into the Royal Commission into Family Violence. WAIT>>>there's more!!
We talk about the war on feral cats with Adam O'Neill ( an independent researcher specialised in animal behaviour & Australian ecology & a former feral animal eradicator himself...)
We also unearth a bit about a new film titled, "Unity" with the acclaimed Director of Earthlings himself -Shaun Monson .

For "Unity" screenings in Australia: http://www.specticast.com/en/titles/unity

As cats have made a scratching post of the media this week thought they wouldn't mind a little more attention by using one of Cat 'Artics beautiful pictures to decorate the webpage.. Thankyou Cat 'Artic!
