Phang: As many as 48% of battered women said they had delayed leaving a dangerous situation out of concern for their pet’s safety.
The Act—was introduced so that shelters could get the funding needed to allow victims to bring their pets with them.. And of course, Republicans want to do away with it

They become part of you and love you unconditionally!!!
The shelter that allowed us to bring them ended up saving me/my daughter lives. Having my pets there changed everything.
This is is especially evil because most pet programs within DV shelters are funded and supported by outside companies like the Purple Leash Project.
They want us to die if they can't control us.
Oh yes. Yes indeedy. They shoot puppies and goats don’t they?
program for 17 years. During that time, I witnessed several pets be killed to punish or terrify the victims. I had my own dog shot in my driveway by an abuser whose wife i was assisting in court. You are 100% right that pets affect how/when a victim leaves.
Pets are some of the most BELOVED of family members.
... better than fam, as no fuzzer ever broke our hearts (oops, touched a live wire, but yep, "pets" brighten our lives in more ways than we can count)
The GOP - a party of cruelty and lack of any empathy!
"So what? Why don't they simply shoot their pets in the head?" - Kristi Noem
Your lack of empathy rivals that of most maga I know.
Dummy
You expect them to have no more attachment to their pet than to a pair of shoes, to easily leave behind a living creature that often ends up being tortured or killed by the abuser to hurt his victim even more
You are a fucking disgrace to humanity
A deceased victim of dv means their family must sue …
This would help lower the number of animal shelter strays. Republicans need to support this bill. 😉

You can be right all fucking day and month, but not if you don't shout to every damn place that will have you shout.
I'm sick of this NON ACTION..
Thinking you don’t know anything

Pit Bull/Chocolate lab mix....they told he came from a domestic violence situation at the shelter. He is gentle and well behaved....i often wonder if his previous owner's heart aches for him. I would.
I mean wives,
to leave.
Is this the one for you?
Call Senators not just your own.
Join a protest.
Circle the block at a protest and lay on your horn.
Write to senators and committee members.
This is NOT normal.
I had to leave pets behind, or move them to temporary shelter while I resettled. It sucked.
I never expected taxpayers to pay for pet sheltering in these scenarios.
Perfectly good non-profit endeavor.
People are starving; let's focus on that.
