Making The Link - THE European Study on psychological effects of children regularly exposed to community animal abuse

The 'Making The Link' study is THE European study identifying the psychological impact on children who are regularly exposed to community animal abuse.

In this world, in which we all live together, nothing occurs on its own. Changes reverberate throughout society and resonate globally, in sometimes hitherto unexpected places.

We, humans, label and place ourselves into various categories. Nature does not make any discrimination or distinction. Everything is interconnected.

Not only do animal abusers introduce interpersonal violence issues and distort their own psychological development, but they also impede social development. Significant research into the LINK between such connections has established that in societies, where animal abuse is ignored, children suffer, and, as the children are the citizens of our future, society is bound to suffer too.

Protect one... another is protected... protect the yet another... and society is protected!

Description
This website introduces the 'Making The Link' study - THE European study to identify psychological effects of children regularly exposed to community animal abuse and evaluation of efficacy of interventions.

The study was initiated by Teesside University (UK) to explore the connection between exposure to endemic abuse in social environments where no previous research had been conducted. 'Making The Link' will seek to evidence the impact which abuse has on the children of these lands... on the people... on the societies. And it will also demonstrate how easily positive change can be effected.

Although multi-dimensional, the study has a central objective of exemplifying connections between animal abuse and a child's psychological health and behavior with its resultant impact on societies. The efficacy of creating positive change by introducing interventions will be evaluated to explore their ability to enhance the quality of both a child's life and the attendant positive effects on society.

The ‘Making the Link‘ program has been credited by leading US academics involved in this field as ‘Amazing!‘ and as ‘The biggest LINK study ever attempted‘. Support comes from, among others, National Link Coalition and Institute for Human-Animal Connection who are the world leaders in this domain.

Most assuredly, the project is unique. In addition to promoting positive attitudes towards animals and in humanely reducing numbers, thereby providing a safer life and reducing the number of potential ‘victims‘, it will create and exemplify that positive societal change can be achieved, reduce anti-social practices, enhance children's psychological health and enforce redundant laws. But perhaps most importantly in a region which embraces around 20% of the European continent with similar issues, a pioneering model would be created to demonstrate to all municipalities and authorities that an effective solution is available to enhance the quality of life within their remit of care - for both people and animals.

A major collaboration of world-leading international organisations and academics have created the 'Making The Link' project to bring change... in the belief that a new tomorrow CAN be created for the children and animals of these lands.

This is their birthright! And ours to give.

HUNGER STRIKE IN FRONT OF ROMANIAN CONSULATE IN MILANO

We need to show our sustained support for people who went on hunger strike, in front of the Romanian Embassy, in Milano, Italy. Their aim is to protest against the cruel injustice exerted by politicians, who started a stray dog massacre by allowing and voting for the barbaric law of "euthanizing strays", which legalizes and promotes violence against owned and stray dogs alike in the Romania of today!

WAD on October the 4th: HELP ME GATHER NECESSARY info to BOYCOTT ROMANIA

Dear animal rights activists, dear NGOs, dear everyone who loves animals or hates seeing humans rights and innocent lives (human or animal ones) being abused and taken this way, HELP me find necessary key data about Romania
such as:

1. Reports from your Embassy's Economic section about companies of your country who invested in Romania
2. Travel agencies that deal with Romania
3. Romanian products sold elsewhere

HELP ME ESTABLISH A LIST on what or which companies to boycott

And REMEMBER: On October the 4th, we have to stand up for their rights:

STAND UP AND DEMONSTRATE outside your EU local office
Demonstrate at every EU local office and ask EU bureaucrats to immediately start an audit on funds given to Romania and every EU member state all these years for infrastructure, neutering/spaying, animal transport, stray animals population control or other funds given to member states and are related to animals.

STAND UP AND DEMONSTRATE outside the nearest Romanian Embassy or Consulate

It's time to end culling of stray dogs in Romania for fun or for some 40 or 50 Euros per head. 
It's time to educate Romanian people.
It's time to stop giving our money for "Made in Romania" products and services or to companies who invested in Romania and keep alive Romanian economy. Find these companies, services or products and stop buying them!
