Australians are turning to adopting and fostering pets to see out their isolation
“It’s just the companionship, having something around, makes you smile, they do stupid stuff,” Moysa told Reuters as he strokes Fred, a white cat with black markings, who was looking for a new home after being in and out of foster homes.Like in many countries, Australians have for weeks been told to stay home to fight coronavirus.
The social distancing measures have helped slow the spread of coronavirus in Australia, with the growth rate in new infections falling by nearly two-thirds in a week.To fill the void, Steve Coleman, chief executive officer of The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in New South Wales, said many people have turned to animals.
“In the weekend just gone we saw almost a 300% increase in the adoptions across our state, which is just terrific,” Coleman told Reuters.
