Would you put your pet's safety above your own?

I know a lot of us on here have pets that we love. Would you put their safety before your own?

Topic was inspired from this:

Quote :

There are 2,500 domestic violence shelters in the U.S.

Only 33 of them allow pets.

Imagine for a moment that you live in a violent household. Every day is a struggle to avoid igniting a fit of rage in your partner. Everyone you know keeps telling you to leave. Deep down, you know that they’re right. But there’s someone else you need to consider. You have a pet…a devoted friend who has stuck by you and given you comfort when you felt completely alone in the world.

The problem? None of the domestic violence shelters near you will shelter your pet during your stay. And you know that if you leave your pet behind, your partner will hurt or even kill him to get back at you.

If you think this scenario sounds far-fetched, think again. According to a 2007 review of a dozen research studies, up to 48 percent of women in abusive relationships had concerns about the safety of their pets -- concerns that affected whether they stayed in abusive homes.

Hell naw!!! Sorry, I love them but no. I can always get another Puppy, but there is only one Shawn.

I love my cats. I'd make sure they were safe before me.

With one straight answer.....No.....
