"Animal shelters overflowing as cost-of-living pressures prompt record pet surrenders" - Penny Travers and Ethan French

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-05-02/animal-shelters-overflowing-with-record-pet-surrenders/102284546

There are several sad issues that come up when it comes to articles like this:

1. A search of "animal shelter" on the #ABC website shows this article gets written up again and again, showing the problem is not a one off but ongoing.

2. It is ongoing because #PuppyFarms / #PuppyMills AND #Breeders are part of the problem. They are constantly producing animals (#cats and #dogs and I am sure many other animals), and charging people thousands of dollars.

3. People are treating these animals as objects, as things, as status symbols, not as complex individuals with their own desires and needs.

4. Every time you buy a dog from a breeder or a farm, you sentence a poor dog or cat to an early death because they didn't get a second chance.

5. A lot of the people giving up their pets for stupid reasons (as described in the article) probably #LoveAnimals too. 🤯😞

I respect the legitimate reasons of having to 'let go' of their pets, such as a war, or being kicked out of your home and the new place doesn't allow pets, but to drop off a poor cat or dog after a year or two because you need to go on a holiday is pure selfishness.
