I am very glad pets are being more recognized as important family members. When I lost my dog, I was very depressed for months because grieving over him was just like grieving for a human family member. Pets enrich our lives and make us happier, they teach us more about the world and ourselves. They really aren't objects, so I'm glad that people can fight for custody in order to ensure the pet is in the best home. Not only that, but maybe split custody can come into play so that the owners can share the animal. I don't think anyone should have to experience the horror of having their beloved pet snatched form them. Everyone deserves a chance to fight for their loved ones.
