Ruby’s Law seeks specific changes to current family law to explicitly protect pets in households where there is domestic abuse.
Why Ruby’s Law?
90% of households experiencing domestic abuse in England and Wales reported that animals were also abused by the perpetrators. In 12% of these households, the pet was killed.
Ruby's Law is campaigning for the following changes:
Recognise in law that pets are part of the household affected by domestic abuse.
Provide legal mechanisms to ensure the safety and welfare of pets in abusive situations.
Establish clear responsibilities for courts when making decisions regarding pets.
