Cardiff received the highest number of calls in Wales to attend injured animals due to rubbish , according the RSPCA<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s calling on people to be more responsible and to discard of their waste properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of the calls to the charity are to animals found severely injured, trapped, mutilated, or even dead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the organisation the rubbish is not only being eaten by the animals but also plastics and cans are becoming trapped around their mouths or necks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statistics are no surprise to people living along the Taff in Riverside who said the increase in litter was a threat to the local wildlife. One man claimed people have even dumped their food waste along the edge of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
