Animals suffering
May 3 2009 Sunday Sun
IN the economic crisis, times are hard for households, but abandoning the family cat, dog or other animal to save money is cruel and selfish.
Recent RSPCA figures reveal that every day, 30 animals are abandoned – or even killed – a 50 per cent rise on 2007 figures.
Anyone thinking of introducing a companion animal into their lives should only do so if they have the time, income and commitment.
Animals are not accessories or cars that can be sold or dumped when times get hard; they are a full-time responsibility and members of the family who need food, shelter, medical treatment and kindness.
If you can offer an animal a loving forever home, please adopt one of the thousands waiting in rescue shelters. – KELLY SLADE, campaigns officer, Animal Aid.
