It's World Spay Day - The importance of neutering your pet

Submitted by Steve on 09:31, 24th Feb, 2015 | 0

The last Tuesday of February is World Spay Day.

With tens of thousands of pets owned in Guernsey and across the EU 61 million dogs and 66 million cats it is important that unwanted litters are avoided.

In Guernsey we are lucky in recent years to rarely see puppies and the number of unwanted kittens have slowly declined.

Unfortunately the numbers of ferrets and rabbits have increased and the GSPCA each year has seen an increase of unwanted adults and youngsters.

On Saturday the GSPCA not only celebrated 142 years helping animals in Guernsey, but we also had a special night at the St Pierre Park Hotel.

Sidney's Sponsored Events held a 1920's St. Valentine's Day Mafia Ball to raise funds for the GSPCA and to help animals in Guernsey.

Gangster's and Moll's started arriving just after 6pm and soon the main bar was like a scene from a 1920's movie.

Frank the guillemot being released back to the wild by the GSPCA in St Peter Port, Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 17:07, 12th Feb, 2015 | 0

Today we released Frank the guillemot back to the wild.

Frank was found near the Fairy Rink in Pleinmont covered in oil on January 15th.

After a period in an intensive care unit, a number of bathes to remove the oil and ten days on our recovery pool he had an identification ring fitted and passed as fit to release.

Just after midday he was caught, boxed and transported just below Castle Cornet slipway.

GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne drove Frank to be released and on what was a calm sea let him out.
