- Reduced donations due to the weak economy and recession. The British people are very generous but the weakened economy is the most serious for a long time.
- An increase in the number of abandoned animals due to people suffering difficulties financially. Personally, I think that on a lot of occasions people need not abandon their companion animal when things get tight financially. These people keep their cars and TVs etc. The cat goes before the car no doubt. Some people use the recession as an excuse to get rid of a companion animal that they want to get rid of anyway. Sorry if that sounds cynical. Calls to the RSPCA about abandoned animals have risen from 21,481 (2007) to 28,162 (2011).
- Increased vet bills. This is something we all know about in the UK.
- Increased fuel bills. Same again. Brits pay by far the most tax on fuel in the EU as far as I am aware.
- A requirement because of the above to reduce the number of staff working at the RSPCA by 130. This will obviously impact animal welfare further.
