Companion animals and domestic violence: rescuing me, rescuing you

In this book, Nik Taylor and Heather Fraser consider how we might better understand human-animal companionship in the context of domestic violence.

The authors advocate an intersectional feminist understanding, drawing on a variety of data from numerous projects they have conducted with people, about their companion animals and links between domestic violence and animal abuse, arguing for a new understanding that enables animals to be constituted as victims of domestic violence in their own right.
