SPOT ABUSE:
The Spot Abuse Project is an effort, being piloted in Milwaukee, to reduce the growing percentage of domestic violence, by encouraging more residents to dial 9-1-1 when they suspect animal abuse. The effort is based on research from the Association of Prosecuting Attorneys that found 76% of animal abusers also abuse a member of their family. The premise is that if more people can be convinced to dial 911 when they suspect animal abuse (an act generally considered to be easier than reporting domestic abuse), that the police will then have the opportunity to uncover a higher number of domestic violence cases.
The campaign to inspire residents to report animal abuse is key to the success of the program. If we don't move people to make the first call, the cycle of violence will continue. To sustain an effective level of reach and frequency for the awareness campaign in Milwaukee throughout the year, funding is needed. Your donation is greatly needed.
ABOUT THE DESIGNER: Carsyn Taylor McKenzie is a Milwaukee-based graphic artist who has a love for all animals. She believes that animals are a major part of any family and her design was based around the different four-legged family members in her life.
