British: Life costs rose, abandoned pets increase greatly

Affected by factors such as inflation and rising energy prices, the cost of living in the British increased, and more and more people could not afford the costs of taking care of pets, and the number of abandoned pets continued to rise.

According to Reuters on the 14th, an animal charitable agency in the Bartsi region in London currently contains 206 dogs and 164 cats, including a black British Cocoic dog named Haliate. Someone saw Harriyt pushed out of the car and became a stray dog ​​on the street.

More and more pets such as Harryat have been abandoned. The lucky people in their adoption agencies are waiting for the new owner.

Not just cats and dogs, but also pets such as snakes and lizards. Raising these rare pets require professional heating equipment, and the cost of care is quite high. The Royal British Prevention of Animal Association told Reuters that three snakes have been stuffed into the pillow sleeve recently and abandoned it outside a climbing animal store, including a 2.4 -meter -long python.

During the new crown epidemic, the demand for people to adopt pets has increased, and now the situation has changed hugely. An animal charitable group named "Woodlin" said that during the "sealing city", they had to process 10,000 adoption applications per month, and now they are only about 100 per month.

The British dog charity "Dog Love Trust" currently contains 692 dogs in 21 centers in the UK. "Love Dog Trust" said that the scale of such a large containment last time was after the financial crisis in 2008.

"Love Dog Trust" operating director Adam Closs said: "The cost of life costs spreads much faster than people expect."

British Bank of England, the Bank of England, previously warned that Britain was facing long -term decline.

Perlar Gomez -Ibo is an assistant editor who originally planned to adopt pets. She told Reuters that as the cost of living is becoming more and more obvious, she is re -considered, "still wait,".
