Creynolds222,
Please contact a shelter or women's crisis center for assistance in getting out asap! I agree the planned leaving is great however your situation is very violent and dangerous and may require faster action than what you are currently doing.
Anyone treating animals like that and threatening to shoot their spouse is seriously in need of more than anger management.
Please check the links below to find help near you and let us know you're continuing to do what you can for your safety.
