Too many people are still dumping their pets while others are exploiting the free or discounted neutering and spaying services offered by animal charities.These were the two main areas of concern for organisers of Walk for the Animals, a family-oriented activity organised by local animal welfare groups to recognise World Animal Day on Tuesday.Founder of Action for Animals Barbados Gail Hunte said during the heightened stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, scores of Barbadians were abandoning their pets because they had lost their jobs and could not afford to maintain the animals.However, she said that although the COVID-19 situation had eased and thousands of Barbadians had restarted work, this was still a major issue.
