I have been all over TVCH this morning trying to decide where to put this. I hope it is ok to start a new thread for it.

While googling it I also saw where Vermont may be following suit. I hope to see this as a law in all 50 states soon.

PORTLAND, Maine – Spurred by growing evidence of a link between domestic violence and animal abuse, Maine has enacted a first-in-the-nation law that allows judges to include pets in protection orders for spouses and partners leaving abusive relationships.
