An animal sanctuary operator says the situation is growing increasingly dire for cats and dogs whose owners can no longer care for them because of the hardship brought on by the current economic conditions.
Karen Whittaker, Founder and Managing Director of the Ocean Acres Animal Sanctuary, formerly Hope, told
Barbados TODAY that there has been a noticeable increase in the number of animals being dumped across the island as individuals and families find it more difficult to provide and care for them.
And she is pleading with Barbadians to be more proactive and responsible by spaying and neutering their animals.
