Let me convince you to make this a thesis.
A man in Sta. Ana, Manila attacked his own father and cousin. Then, in the heat of his rage, he turned to a dog. He hit the animal again and again until it collapsed, whining in pain. The scene was caught on video. It ended with the suspect being arrested. The dog now lies in a vet’s clinic, possibly with fractured bones. Its only mistake was being near someone consumed by anger.
This is not just a story about one violent man. It’s about the cycle of violence that starts in the home and spills out onto the most defenseless. The research gap is clear. We do not understand how often domestic conflicts lead to animal abuse. We do not measure how many animals suffer in silence when people lose control. And we have done too little to stop it.
