    Saving 3m by hurting domestic abuse victims while blowing 45m on a fucking parade. Wonderful.

      we’re allowed to be concerned about all of the suffering and not just the major suffering.

        Yes, your allowed to do whatever, but when the house is burning down, most wouldnt stop to complain about the decor.

            But your not, your complaining about the toaster not working while the house is burning down.

              Can I not be mad about the toaster and the house at the same time? Is there something about humans that makes it so we can only care about one issue at a time?

              And youre comparing people being denied the right to keep their animals (some would refer to this as “property”) when they need to leave an abusive household, to a toaster.

      If we read the article, we learn:

      Tucked inside the 1,200-page appendix to the White House’s budget request to Congress is a proposal to eliminate a grant program, funded by the Agriculture Department and administered by the Department of Justice, that provides domestic violence shelters with money to support survivors’ pets. Advocates say the program, known as PAWS, helps fill a critical gap despite its relatively small budget of $3 million

      So we see that it actually is a budget issue, nobody’s issuing a directive saying animals are banned at these shelters – the headline is misleading.

      We also see that the proposed budget cut is $3 million, which works out to almost a whopping 2¢ per taxpayer in the US.

          That’s not the point. The Republicans are not doing this to save money. They are doing this for ideological reasons, namely that domestic violence is fine and there shouldn’t be any domestic violence shelters, because women should be subjugated to their husbands no matter what.

        Thanks for adding context and hard evidence to the discussion. Fuck them twice as much for doing it this way. It’s the same amount of sabotage and half the accountability.

    A government and people that cared about protecting abused people would demand that shelters accept pets.

    In my jurisdiction pets were ruled to have custody rights meanwhile the land of the free wouldn’t elect a woman and won’t stand up for each other. Enjoy your Handmaid’s Tale, stop trying to push it on other countries.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
