Every year we hear of firework related incidents involving animals and children. While fireworks may be exciting and pretty to look at and its fun to celebrate many celebrations with a bang, we must put our safety, the safety of our pets and the local wildlife first.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Tonight is the first night of those organizing firework events and there are 45 registered running until the 16th November.”
“That is from those who are registering their events with the States of Guernsey which we also copy onto our calendar on our web page.”
Last week the GSPCA were called out to a very poorly grey seal pup first heard then seen near Castle Cornet.

Geoff George Head of Marinee Mammals said “The weekend before last we were called out to rescue a grey seal pup from the breakwater at Castle Cornet.”
“This is the first pup we’ve been called to help this season and we have named him Roar due to his angry nature.”
We never know what or who will need our help and last week we highlighted Zimba a loving French Bulldog.

Each year at the GSPCA we hold Dog and Cat First Aid Courses.
For over a decade we have been running dog and cat first aid courses which help teach owners and pet lovers how to save the life of their pet or animal.
GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne who has over 27 years working in the field of animal rescue runs the training and with over 3000 animals through the doors every year at the GSPCA the team see cases of animal first aid on a daily basis here in Guernsey.
Recently the GSPCA Manager popped along to Normandie Health and Safety to learn and undertake the IOSH Working Safely training course.
Health and safety being an essential skill set for us all in this modern world the GSPCA as like every charity and employer have obligations to those that work, volunteer, visit and anyone that comes into contact with our 24/7 work.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Last month I attended the IOSH Working Safely training course at Normandie Health and Safety.”
Every year many children with parents or guardians head out at Halloween on the 31st October dressed up to celebrate the American tradition of 'Trick or Treat'.
With the growing concern of the consumption of sweets and sugar why not this Halloween raise funds for charity.
With the dark evenings it is important to ensure you follow some simple safety hints and tips, but this year could your Halloween night out help benefit the hundreds of animals in need in Guernsey.
We never know what or whop will need our help and currently it is Zimba a loving French Bulldog.
Zimba is in need of a number of medical procedures and to donate to his operations, care and our work please go to https://giving.gg/donate/event/9679/Help-fund-Zimba-the-french-bulldogs-vet-care-and-support-the-animals-at-the-GSPCA
On the 6th November 2023 a loggerhead turtle was washed up on the West Coast of Guernsey.
Barnacle Bill as the young turtle was called has since that time been in the care of the GSPCA.
On arrival she was very cold and weak but in the care of the Animal Shelter quickly improved and has been growing and putting weight on ever since.
Yesterday the GSPCA were called out to a very poorly grey seal pup first heard then seen near Castle Cornet.
