By Jonathan Fagg & Vanessa FillisThe RSPCA has said the number of abandoned pets in England and Wales is up 25% compared to the previous year.
"Unfortunately, we believe we're really starting to see the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis. In Yorkshire & the Humber, the RSPCA has responded to 2,830 abandoned animals this year, as of July. That is up 38% from the same period in 2021, the largest percent increase for a region across England and Wales.
