Since the pandemic occurred in Malaysia, it has seen about a 60-percent increase in the number of dogs it gets asked to rescue compared to usual. Many of them are abandoned by bridges, train stations, bus stops or just left on the side of the road.
Over the past three weeks, some 40 dogs and 25 cats have been abandoned at the gates of the Israel's animal shelter and this is 35% higher than normal months. One of the main reasons for the abandonment is losing their jobs and not being able to support their pets financially.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
“People lost their jobs, they did not have the funds to actually look after their dogs to feed at home.”
