From visiting the GSPCA to now A&E we seem to have very inquisitive cows here in Guernsey.
Also a few weeks ago a herd decided to pop by the GSPCA Animal Shelter.
On Saturday night the GSPCA Animal Ambulance Warden was called out to a stop our ambulance rarely visits.
Sarah Harrison GSPCA team member and ambulance warden said “On Saturday we had one of our more unusual calls at around 10pm.”
“It’s not everyday our warden gets a call from the Joint Emergency Control Centre to say there are cows at A&E.”
Every day the GSPCA have visitors in all sorts of shapes and sizes but the team had an extra big surprise when after lunch a local herd of cattle popped through the hedge into the Shelter grounds.
Fortunately, the team care for, rescue and work with all kinds of animals and after a quick radio the team worked together to ensure they made their way back home with their owner.
Anna Carre Senior Animal Care Assistant said 'Well what an unusual afternoon we've had today.'
Last week the GSPCA was inundated with calls of tethered cattle that were left out in the blizzard conditions.
Despite the awful weather, Shelter staff drove to many of the animals to check their condition and we reported our concerns to the owners.
With tethering of cattle being a legal practice within Guernsey the Shelter was unable to take any action other than passing our concerns to the owners of the animals.
