Resumo

Veterinary Medicine is one of the professions that integrate the health area. From this assumption, that professionals have the possibility to intervene in situations which cause damage to animal and human health, just as domestic violence and animal abuse. Studies show that individuals who are violent with animals tend to commit violent crimes against people, or people who are violent with others may commit crimes against animals. However, there are few studies within Veterinary Medicine that assess such behaviors and their consequences. This study evaluated the perception of the link between domestic and animal violence, which has a public health character and has closely linked components, as they act as indicators of various social problems, such as domestic violence and social vulnerability. A total of 117 questionnaires were applied, 80 of which were applied to Veterinary Medicine students, 34 to veterinarians and three to women. Data were collected about the crimes of animal abuse and domestic violence, through the Public Security Observatory of the State of Goiás, in which the dynamics between the analyzed crimes was observed, signaling that before the aggression to the human being, the animal is the first victim. It was found that Veterinary Medicine and its professionals are not prepared to combat crimes of animal abuse and, consequently, help to break the cycle of domestic violence, just as the women participating in the research showed that their aggressors have traces of aggression against animals
