What clever Guernsey cows - Stray cows hand themselves into the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 21:52, 15th Apr, 2024 | 0

Every day the GSPCA help lost and stray animals.

With the larger farm animals we are called out to help everything from escaped horses to sheep in the road, cows in gardens to pigs out and about and many more.

Mostly escaped farm or large animals lose are from fences coming down especially in windy weather or gates being left open.

This weekend though the GSPCA had a herd of cows hand themselves into the GSPCA.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are very blessed to have very clever animals here in Guernsey.”

Submitted by GSPCA on 09:25, 5th Mar, 2013 | 0

Last night the GSPCA was called out to collect a stray rabbit.

Found in St Martins, the very friendly black with a little white, female adult lop eared rabbit was rescued after being found roaming the area.

Safe and sound at the GSPCA we are appealing for anyone that might have lost their hoppy little friend.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'She appears very friendly and very healthy so it is likely she has escaped out of someones garden as there will be many out in this lovely weather.'

'We get many stray rabbits in and care for over 100 every year.'
