A RADICAL new Pennsylvania bill is set to DESTROY the traditional family unit by legally placing PETS on the SAME LEVEL as HUMAN CHILDREN in divorce court. This is NOT a drill.
The so-called “Companion Animal” bill, House Bill 97, has PASSED the state House and would force judges to treat your dog or cat as a “cherished family member,” sparking NIGHTMARE custody battles over Fido that mirror the brutal fights over human kids. Shared schedules, visitation rights, and court-ordered support payments for animals are now on the table.
This is a SLIPPERY SLOPE into societal madness, where the emotional bonds with animals are being weaponized by the state to create NEW avenues for legal warfare between spouses. Critics are BLASTING the legislation as a war on traditional property rights and a grotesque devaluation of human relationships.

The bill’s language is a CHILLING echo of child custody law, demanding courts examine who feeds the animal, who pays for vet bills, and who has the “greater financial ability” to care for it. This means your divorce could now hinge on a judge’s opinion of your bond with a hamster or a parrot.
Sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Anita Astorino Kulik, this legislation is a DIRECT assault on common sense, prioritizing the feelings of pet owners over judicial efficiency and opening the floodgates for endless, costly litigation. It’s a victory for radical animal rights agendas seeking to blur the lines between man and beast.

As this bill slithers to the state Senate, one must ask: have we truly reached a point where the custody of a goldfish demands the same solemn courtroom drama as the future of a human child? The fabric of reality is unraveling, one pet custody hearing at a time.
