Story here. Excerpt:

'LAKE CHARLES, LA (KPLC) - A local state district judge is believed to be the first in the state to utilize a new provision in the law that allows a protective order for an abused woman to be extended to the family pets. The new legal tool is expected to save not just pets but human lives too.

For many pets are truly members of the family. Statistics show women who are victims of abuse sometimes stay in abusive situations rather than leave beloved pets. But a change in the law allows orders to protect women to now include their pets.
...
The women's shelter has kennels for pets of women who seek protection there. They hope other attorneys and judges will also utilize the change in the law to protect abuse victims and their pets. Says Zilbert, "Lives will be saved both four legged and human because of the fact that protection of the pets is no longer a reason for a woman who's being abused to stay with the abuser."'

You gotta be kidding me! Shelters won't let a woman's son if he is 12 or older into a shelter but they are letting pets in?! So much for "the children" and "children first".

It makes me sick.

Let's face it, these people value animals more highly than men. To the gen-fem extemists who run these DV programs men are below dogs, cats, goldfish; hell even the bugs carried in a woman's lower colon are of more value to them than we are.

The way this is going, soon we'll be overhearing very reasoned, very logical discussions amongst feminists about what is to be "done" with men. The sound of gas-chambers being prepared may be heard sooner than some of us expect...
