| Summary: | Abuse of animals is a neglected phenomenon in the scientific area, but it occurs in many ways. Bestiality, unethical use of animals in cosmetics, hunting, and violence to animals are examples of animal abuse and could be discussed with a particular focus on each. This review first focuses on intentional cruelty to animals and the research on its link to interpersonal violence that has been revealed in previous research. Some protective factors that might reduce animal cruelty will also be discussed. The second section focuses on the review of Turkey-specific research regarding the attitudes to animals, and eventually, its connection to interpersonal violence. The narrative analysis of this review indicated that scientific studies on cruelty to animals in Turkey are limited, and the patterns of animal abuse are unknown. Societal views of animals and the lack of laws to protect animals from aggression might indirectly affect the cases of cruelty to animals. In this sense, research findings in Turkey are discussed within the framework of a link between cruelty to animals and interpersonal violence, considering country-specific risk and protective factors. |
