"Animal sanctuaries say they are full to bursting as formerly beloved pets from cats to chameleons are handed over by owners who can no longer afford them. Cases of neglect are also on the rise, according to the charities, some of which have had to stop taking on healthy animals because of the pressure of emergency cases. An increasing number of owners are taking the extreme measures of abandoning their animals at the vet, in repossessed homes and even on the streets, just to be rid of them."
