Can you believe this crap?

[The Juan and only]

A court in Italy has ordered a man to pay maintenance to his divorced wife for their pet dog.

The woman, not been named for legal reasons, took her former husband to court in the north-eastern town of Udine after he refused to give money towards her canine expenses.

She said: “He has to pay maintenance for our two children, so why shouldn’t he pay for the care of our dog Pepi, which we bought together.

“With food and vet bills a dog can cost almost as much as a child to raise.”

Judge Enrico Cavalieri ruled in favour of the woman and ordered her estranged husband to pay several hundred pounds a year for the dog.

I'm not one to complain, but that's going too far. Gender imbalances in the legal system are ridiculous these days.

Letting them vote was our big mistake. We should have repealed that one along with prohibition.

:crackup: Letting them drive, another big freaking mistake.

boo hoo, get over it, you're preaching to the converted anyhow,
stop complaining about the system and talking rubbish like not allowing women to vote and trying to "re-establish total dominance", focus on improving yourself not woman hating, especially if you're only 19 and it has no relevance to you

 

[Mr.Positive]

Elmnick, relax and laugh a little. Woman have free reign to bash us all they want, we should have a little fun too.

haha sorry, didn't want to come off as a tw@t, but reading it it's fair to say I did, my bad

i think that fighting over pet custody and support is the silliest thing i ever heard of. i also think that if a married couple split one should keep the pet and the bills that come with the pet. if you don't want the bills, let the other have the pet or get rid of your pet all together.
if this guy's ex wife got the kids, why couldn't he have been allowed to keep the dog so he wouldn't be so lonely?

 

[bigjohnson]

I think that whoever wants the KIDS should have to foot that bill too.

No kidding! She get ths kids, house, his money/pension, AND takes the dog! Man's best friend!! Not only does she take the dog, but makes him pay more!!

Great...what's next? I'm waiting for someone to post a new article..

"Man loses trial and must surgically remove his testicles and hand them over to his ex-wife. Ex-wife claims they became hers after marriage and should remain hers after the divorce. Man must now pay her an extra $2000 a month so she can keep them in a jar on the mantle of the mansion she took away from him."

I like dog, and pets are expensive. They should fight over custody of the dog.
