Topic - Patterns and Trends in Animal Control and Field Services Interactions: 2015-2022
The Institute for Human-Animal Connection research team will present the finalized and updated results of a recent study on patterns and trends in animal control and field services interactions in the U.S. In a first-of-its-kind study, quantitative demographic disparities are established in the trends of animal control data from a unique dataset obtained directly from a nationally representative sample of U.S. animal control/field services agencies. Through rigorously analyzed data consisting of over 1 million cases, this session will highlight the inextricable intersection of animal control, Access to Care issues, systemic racial bias in differential enforcement, and the urgent need to address these disparities collectively as a field.
