A guinea pig was found abandoned in a box at a bus stop in Luleå, Sweden. The animal is one of many that the animal welfare and veterinary unit of the County Administrative Board in Norrbotten takes care of and tries to find new homes for. Abandonments like this occur a few times every year.
A few months ago, a kitten was also taken into care after being found abandoned in a transport carrier at a bus stop. The unit takes in animals whose owners can no longer care for them every week, which can happen due to reasons such as illness, detention, or death, according to Ingrid Ragnarsson, head of the animal welfare unit.
