The RSPCA’S cruelty hotline is being overloaded by time-wasters, the charity reveals.
One man claimed to have spotted Bigfoot, while a wife shopped her husband for not walking their dog.
In another call a woman rang to report an animal being attacked – on TV in the film Call Of The Wild.
And one complained of birds sitting on telephone lines outside her home.
Hotline calls have risen 65% this year.
RSPCA chief inspector Dermot Murphy said: “We haven’t enough staff to deal with this.”
