Bridging the Gaps in Animal Cruelty Response: A Mixed-Methods Study of Recognition, Roles, and Collaboration Among Law Enforcement, Veterinary Professionals, Shelter Personnel, and the Public in North Carolina. $50 Amazon Gift Card

You are being asked to complete a survey for research purposes. This survey examines how different groups — including law enforcement personnel, veterinary professionals, shelter and rescue staff, veterinary students, and community members — recognize and respond to situations involving potential animal cruelty. It also explores perceptions of roles, responsibilities, and collaboration in cruelty prevention and response. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • You must be 18 years of age or older.
  • You must currently reside in North Carolina.
  • You must identify as belonging to one of the following groups:
    • Law enforcement personnel
    • Veterinary professionals
    • Shelter or rescue staff
    • Veterinary students
    • Community members
Participation involves completing one survey that includes questions about your background and professional or personal experiences, your understanding of what situations may constitute animal cruelty, and your perspectives on collaboration among groups involved in cruelty prevention and response. Some questions will present brief real-world scenarios and ask how you would interpret or respond.

Participation is voluntary. You may stop participating at any time by closing your browser window or exiting the survey platform. If you withdraw after submitting responses, you may contact the research team using the information below to request removal of your data to the extent possible.
