This is a common problem especially in urban areas where most of the people are tenants. The problem is due to the fact that some people keep more pets than they can be able to handle with respect to such contingencies or are simply the callous types who would only be too glad to dispense with them. I remember the situation a long time ago when we relocated from our rural home and left our cat behind. I was too young to intervene or even attempt to locate the cat and it only dawned that the feline had been left behind much later. The worst affected animals in this regard are stray dogs which roam about scavenging for leftovers. These hapless souls bear the brunt of the less empathetic members of society who attack them without any provocation. It gets worse when local authorities decide to eliminate them en masse after giving notice that they want to forestall a breakout of rabies without concrete facts due to vested interests.
