      This makes me so furious.

      Literally every domestic violence study shows a pet being one of the biggest reasons an abused woman stays in a relationship right behind children. And the animal and children are often abuse targets too!

      This will put the US even further behind in one of it’s most shameful measurements, but, hey it might shave a couple thousand dollars off a multi-trillion dollar deficit entirely created by the military industrial complex, so fuck 'em.

        Maybe on one balance sheet. On the total accounting of the nation, this will be harmful.
