Police Witness Appeal - Sheep killed - Torteval Area

Submitted by GSPCA on 08:39, 13th Dec, 2013 | 0

Police are appealing for witnesses or anyone who may have information leading to the identity of the offender(s) in relation to an incident in the Torteval Area which had occurred overnight Tuesday the 10th December 2013 in which a sheep was killed after apparently being run over by a vehicle.

It appears that the vehicle entered the field by driving over an electric fence.  Clearly this is a distressing incident for the farmer and appears to be a callous and mindless act of cruelty towards a defenceless animal.

Christmas Gifts Should Have Meaning & Not Real Feelings

Submitted by GSPCA on 13:18, 12th Dec, 2013 | 0

With Christmas only 2 weeks away the GSPCA are asking all islanders not to give pets as presents this festive season.

Many pet stores and breeders are advertising animals for sale at this time of year and the GSPCA believes that any pet is a life long commitment and important decision.  Owning a new pet means making a permanent commitment to care for and spend time with the animal and to provide for their lifelong care.

Christmas Wishes from the GSPCA - Could your shop display a GSPCA Wish List Star on items needed at the Shelter?

24 hours a day, 7 days a week staff and volunteers work around the clock at the GSPCA to ensure the animals are cared for and those in need can be rescued around Guernsey.

Since launching our Amazon Wish List in October 2012 nearly every week we have had wonderful donations from honey for the hedgehogs to heat lamps to keep those ill nice and warm.

Despite the cold snap some of our wildlife and animals have continued to produce young here in Guernsey.

Only yesterday we were called to rescue two young pigeons which are now safe and warm in an Intensive Care Unit which was thanks to the Channel Island Christmas Lottery last year.

Also in the last month we have had two tortie and white kittens who have been called Sparkle and Glitter (we currently have a waiting list for homes looking for kittens) and a duckling which has been called Quack Quack.
