A Sign of the Times

This is a small sample of what is going on in the back ground whilst public sector workers strike. They really don't know what day it is. Who pays public service wages and  pensions? The Private Sector.

Rescue founder Sheila Stewart blames ever-increasing economic pressures on families for the situation, which she claims is the most serious the 30-year-old centre has ever seen.

She said: “The position at the moment is just unbelievable. We are absolutely full to bursting and cannot possibly take any more animals in.

“In recent years, I have taken one or two calls a week from pet owners who are being evicted from their homes or having to move out due to money problems.

“Now I’m taking about three calls every single day. I think the impact of the economy is having a worse effect than ever before.

“So many jobs are being lost and businesses closing. People are hanging onto their pets for as long as possible but just can't cope with the cost any more.”
