Hit Your Spouse, Lose Your Pet



Aw, look at that sad dog! Well, hopefully this new bill, passed by the House Monday (and currently awaiting approval in the Senate), will help take his saddies away. See, if you live in Washington and hit your significant other, when they finally decide to leave your loser ass they can take your jointly owned pets with them! Which is probably best for all parties involved (besides the abuser, but really, fuck them).

Think about it: Sad abusee gets loyal, loving friend, who gets to leave a volatile, abusive environment and go live with the master who truly deserves their love. Beautiful. As to whether or not this will actually lessen domestic violence, I have to say it's not likely; however, it is a step in the right direction for taking the power away from abusers.

ps. I find it really strange and funny that at the bottom of the article they say a little one sentence blurb about other bills going to the Senate, including a child prostitution bill and a malt liquor keg selling bill. How did the doggy story get top billing???
