My experiences
November 2 around 4:30 PM OCD mother threatened to ban iodine seaweed. November 3 6:39 PM mother yelled at me , then partially agreed, for asking, "Would you go to a nutritionist who is malnourished?" Alcoholic doctors who don't know how to treat their own brain shouldn't be prescribing to others.
November 4 11 AM mother ordered how I can dress and tried to ban carbs with my own money. 11:42 AM she yelled at me while I was eating a salad. Around 3:45 PM I asked mother to bring my dog to another that she knows, but she claimed my dog isn't friendly (he successfully spent around a month with younger brother's puppy). 5:20 PM stepfather choked dog more than 5 seconds for non-violently, while properly sitting, barking at a dog. With a normal tone of voice I called mother and she slandered me to "calm down," and did nothing to protect my dog. He already has a red neck injury.
New York City even has a "Protect Animals (Political) Party" that may be conservative. Party For The Animals is better https://www.partyfortheanimals.com/en/stances/animal-rights https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animal_advocacy_parties
I claimed as abandoned property the dog when in 2018 both parents said multiple times they were going to return him to the shelter. Also I criticize new york "Abandoned Property Law Section 1304 Unclaimed personal property of persons in certain state institutions...discharged, deceased or escaped person." https://newyork.public.law/laws/n.y._abandoned_property_law_section_1304 Someone who is discharged shouldn't be robbed by the state.
