A powerful article by Dr Sheena Swemmer in the South African Crime Quarterly shows how pets are often harmed or threatened in abuse cases.

But behind the stats are survivors trapped in abuse — staying to protect their pets.

Every day, survivors of domestic abuse face an impossible choice, stay in danger or leave behind their beloved pets. Too many suffer in silence, trapped by fear, because current laws fail to protect the animals they love.

For many disabled people, pets are more than just companions - they are lifelines. From guide dogs in to emotional support animals, pets provide independence, safety, and comfort. But right now, the law in England and Wales does not explicitly protect pets in domestic abuse cases.

🐾 Ruby’s Law: Protecting Pets, Protecting People

For disabled people, pets are lifelines. Yet, the law doesn’t explicitly protect them in domestic abuse cases. Ruby’s Law will close this gap by ensuring assistance animals are safeguarded.
