More pets being ditched
The number of unwanted pets being dumped by their owners rose 23 percent last year, the RSPCA said yesterday, with people using excuses such as "my cat doesn't match my new carpet" for getting rid of their animals.
The animal charity said 7,347 animals had been cast aside by their owners in 2007, up from 5,959 the previous year. Almost half were cats.
