Geoff George Head of Marinee Mammals said “The last 3 seal pups all rescued in Guernsey Doyle, Dolly and Valentine have been doing really well and on Sunday were released back to the wild.”
As summer continues the GSPCA are expecting to receive calls and reports from the public from dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight, wildlife in need and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets and how you can help wildlife.
With the extreme warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs and other animals whether in cars or their pens are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.
This week Guernsey has seen its first new animal welfare laws in nearly a decade and this ironically coincided in a week where GSPCA Animal Welfare Manager Lorna Chadwick held training with many of the GSPCA team on Animal Welfare and Cruelty Investigations.
The GSPCA has a team of over 50 staff and over 800 volunteers helping ensure our work 24/7 365 days a year from rescuing sick and injured animals to investigating cruelty, calls to dogs in hots cars to the many other services we carry out which list is an extensive and ever growing list.
It is amazing how we are supported in such a range of ways at the GSPCA.
We need to say a huge thanks to Bourse Trust Company who recently held a cake sale in aid of our 24/7 work helping 1000’s of animals every year and raised an amazing £103.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “We are in awe in the many ways those that care about our animal welfare work support us at the GSPCA carry out our 24/7 work.”
“We recently received an amazing donation of £103 from Bourse Trust Company who held a cake sale in aid of all of what we do at the GSPCA.”
Huge thanks Situations Recruitment helping the GSPCA who last month spent another day helping out at the GSPCA.
Situations Recruitment are incredible supporters of the work we do and we cannot thank them all enough for the amazing and continued support.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “On the 17th April 4 of the team from Situations Recruitment spent the day helping us at the GSPCA and on the 22nd June we had a further 5 members of their team at the GSPCA.”
As sunny weather continues the GSPCA are expecting to receive calls and reports from the public from dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight, wildlife in need and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets and how you can help wildlife.
With the extreme warm weather and direct sunlight, dogs and other animals whether in cars or their pens are potentially in a situation where you could kill your pet if it is left, regardless of the situation.
For over 151 years the GSPCA has strived to improve animal welfare in Guernsey.
On the 18th July 2024 the States of Guernsey voted through 7 animal welfare proposals including banning snares and gin traps.
It did however not vote on all proposals. The new laws will require the 3 veterinary practices, nurses and visiting vets to be registered with the States of Guernsey.
The GSPCA investigate causes of concern to cruelty and help animals in need 24/7 and these laws are very much welcomed but could we do more?
