Scores of pairs of sad eyes greet the staff every day at Birminghams RSPCA centre at Barnes Hill, which has collected more than 200 dogs and 50 cats in the past few months.

EDITORS COMMENTS
While millions welcomed in the New Year with smiles and laughter, the start of 1987 brought little to celebrate for these animals. In this poignant print captured in January 1987, we are confronted with a heart-wrenching scene at Birmingham's RSPCA centre at Barnes Hill. The image showcases scores of pairs of sad eyes that greet the dedicated staff every day. This powerful snapshot serves as a reminder of the countless abandoned puppies and kittens that found themselves without a loving home during this era. With over 200 dogs and 50 cats collected by the center in just a few months, it is evident that these innocent creatures were desperately seeking care, compassion, and companionship. Despite their circumstances, there is an undeniable sense of resilience emanating from these adorable feline faces. Their playful nature reminds us that even amidst adversity, they still possess an unwavering spirit capable of finding joy in small moments. As we reflect on this photograph from the 1980s today, let us not only appreciate its aesthetic value but also remember to advocate for animal welfare. May it inspire us to support organizations like RSPCA who work tirelessly to provide shelter and find forever homes for those who cannot speak for themselves.
