Scots choosing to give up pets as cost of living continues to soar
13.02.2023 - 11:31 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A Scots animal charity saw calls from people facing the "heart-breaking" decision to give up their pet soar last year amid the cost-of-living crisis.
The Scottish SPCA said they received more than 4,000 calls to its helpline last year from people inquiring about giving up their pet, more than three times as many as in 2021.
It said the majority of callers cited financial issues, including vet bills as their main issue.
The charity said some people were having to choose between feeding themselves or their animal, or were considering giving their pet up as the cost-of-living crisis took its toll. In response to the difficulties people are facing the Scottish SPCA last August pioneered Pet Aid, which provides vital pet supplies to people when they need them most.
The service, which works with local food banks and community projects across Scotland, is now available in 35 places around the country.
Scottish SPCA chief executive Kirsteen Campbell said: "Through our animal helpline and inspectors, the Scottish SPCA has a unique insight into the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on people and their pets. Last year we saw first-hand how people were having to choose between feeding themselves or their animal, or making the heart-breaking decision to give their pet up."
She added: "The best thing for animal welfare is to keep a human and a pet together, and that's what our overriding ambition is through this crisis."
The Scottish SPCA said 2022 was "one of the most challenging' in its 183-year history". It said it has been stretched to its limit as the cost-of-living crisis, ability to pay vet bills and the low-welfare pet trade drove animal welfare issues in Scotland last year.
