  • If we read the article, we learn:

    Tucked inside the 1,200-page appendix to the White House’s budget request to Congress is a proposal to eliminate a grant program, funded by the Agriculture Department and administered by the Department of Justice, that provides domestic violence shelters with money to support survivors’ pets. Advocates say the program, known as PAWS, helps fill a critical gap despite its relatively small budget of $3 million

    So we see that it actually is a budget issue, nobody’s issuing a directive saying animals are banned at these shelters – the headline is misleading.

    We also see that the proposed budget cut is $3 million, which works out to almost a whopping 2¢ per taxpayer in the US.
