📢 Busy week ahead for the #RubysLaw team as we push to protect pets in domestic abuse cases. Pets suffer too—used as tools of control, harmed, or threatened. Survivors & experts are speaking out—will you? 🐾❤️ Share your story & support change! #EndDomesticAvuse #PetsAreFamily

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.
