I think not.
I have no problem with the bill. Why? I dont' think the reasoning behind the bill is to protect animals, primarily. The main reasoning is to give the abused less reasons to not run away from their abuser. Some people are so misguided as to think that their animal's lives are as important as their own or even worse as important as their children's lives, and they aren't leaving their abusers for fear for their animals. This bill is to help save those fools who will risk their own and their children's lives due to wanting to save their animals from the abuser.
Its just a nanny law, like we need more of those. |

This is a good thing in my opinion and it'll be one of the few trends I follow. Let this be another landmark in the case for animals' rights.
Animal rights isn't the thought behind this proposal:
Quote: In helping pets, advocates hope to help battered women and others who aren't willing to abandon their animals to be saved themselves.
Still its nice to know that other people do care about animals. |
