“For those with dogs do check out the routes and times so you can avoid having to find alternate routes for your walk when out and especially cat owners please if in areas where the Rally’s take place please ensure you keep them in during race times.”
“We see 150-300 cats killed on the roads every year in Guernsey and during times such as races it is especially important to take precautions.”
