More pet owners are using lifestyle reasons for abandoning their animals, according to an RSPCA report. The organisation's staff rescued 7,347 dumped pets in 2007, up 23 per cent from the 5,959 recorded in 2006. Examples of dumped animals included a litter of kittens left in a dustbin bag for bin men and a rabbit abandoned in a box in a crushing machine at a recycling centre. Also worrying are the excuses given by owners who no longer want to look after their pets. "My dog hurts my legs when she wags her tail," one said, while another claimed: "My Pussy doesn't match my new carpet or curtains."
