Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “A huge thank you to Adam and Robin Powell for raising an amazing £198 for our work at the GSPCA at their recent joint 40th and 70th birthday party at the Imperial last Saturday.”

Head of Marine Mammals Geoff George with GSPCA team member Neil Hughes headed to the scene where there was a very poorly seal pup.
The pup was transported to the GSPCA seal unit where very sadly it died shortly after arriving.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The GSPCA are deeply saddened to say we were called out to a poorly seal pup at Jerbourg yesterday and despite our best efforts he passed away shortly after being rescued.”

“However we are absolutely delighted that he has found a new home and was collected recently and we wanted to share the happy tail as part of the GSPCA Purple Month celebrations.”
