BE A PET HERO! Support State Legislation to Protect Pets in Domestic Violence Protective Orders! The Pets of 70% of Abused Women are Tortured+Killed!

A national study revealed that the pets of over 71 percent of battered women are threatened, tortured or even killed. This statistic is shocking and unacceptable. Sign today to include pets in state legislation on domestic abuse. A domestic violence protective order is a court order that can command an abuser to stop harming and contacting the domestic violence survivor. Encouraging judges to include pets in these orders is critical toward combating the cycle of domestic violence and empowering survivors and their pets. Progress has been made, but the dire plight of pets caught in domestic violence situations is still not recognized by the law in 40 states. Please support state legislation to include pets in domestic violence protective orders! Thank you for protecting pets and pet families. Sincerely, Julian & Emily Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team Pets are Part of the Family - They Should be Included in Domestic Violence Legislation. Forward to a friend >> Read the petition >>
