This ability of animals is recognized by studies that recognize the way an aggressor acts violently,either by direct or indirect actions, against people. Thus, the objective of this study was to describe the perception of medical students enrolled at Campus do Sertão, Federal University of Sergipe, on the subject of animal abuse and domestic violence. Audiences of 42 students from the beginning and course were selected, who responded as a target who had questions related to the topic. The results were tabulated using the Microsoft Excel program, and descriptive statistics were performed. It was observed that 80% (20/25) of the students enrolled at the beginning of the course had never heard the link theory, however 100% (17/17) of the students who studied the subject in the last stage. Most animal discs have already witnessed cases of abuse. Regarding cases of domestic violence against women, children or the elderly, 60%(15/25)of cycle 2 students have never witnessed the case of violence, but 52.94% (9/17) of cycle five students have already witnessed this type of aggression. From the data described, it can be seen that students at the end of the medical course know the importance of the theory of and future professionals can contribute to animals and the mistreatment of domestic animals. 2022-12-01T00:00:00Z
