With less than a month to go the GSPCA are busy preparing for the ninth Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday.
In recent years we have seen just over 100 stalls at our biggest event of the year but with 100 already booked in it looks like it will be the BIGGEST yet.
We would be delighted if any other stalls or buskers would like to join us to help celebrate animals in Guernsey.
Anyone interested in the Strategy for Nature there is currently a display at Beau Sejour and tomorrow between 5pm and 830pm they will also be staff on hand to answer any questions.

Can your team take the trophy off the Plough Inn?
Once again we will be holding a Giant Animal Mascot event as part of our Animal Welfare Seafront Sunday celebrations.
This is open to mascots and individuals prepared to dress as an animal and play a fun football game with a rather over sized ball.
We are asking businesses, pubs, individuals or anyone as a team of 5 or an individual and we can make extra teams on the day.
Don't worry about what to wear we will provide the Giant Animal Mascot suit and have over 70 available to choose from.
With the recent hot weather the GSPCA has had a number of reports from concerned members of the public that have seen dogs locked in cars, dogs being walked on hot pavements, animals in direct sunlight and we want to remind all pet owners of the real dangers to their pets.
The GSPCA team have already been out to many vehicles and calls this year to reports of dogs locked in cars in direct sunlight and also to other animals at risk with the warm weather.

The Guernsey Arts Commission are proud to announce that Arts Sunday this year will be going ahead on the revised date of 9th August, that’s this Sunday between 10am and 4pm.
The last few months have been a strange time for the whole Island, but what has emerged from this has been the importance of creativity to bring the community together and spread positivity.
Due to this, they have decided to continue on from the last few months and are happy to announce the theme will be Guernsey Together – A celebration of community and kindness within the Arts.

Yes once again the GSPCA will be there with lots of tombolas and games to raise funds for the many animals in our care, taking place 11am until 4pm.
Last month at the GSPCA we shared an important message about helping hedgehogs and after todays record number arrived in one morning we wanted to share that important information.
Of the 13 hedgehogs two were able to go back to the wild, one was sadly deceased on arrival and 10 others are now in our Hedgehog Department with a variety of injuries, ailments and ages requiring our care.
With a total of 348 hedgehogs coming into our care during 2020 since the 1st January it looks likely we will see another record breaking number of hedgehogs to need our help.
Statement from the States of Guernsey website -
‘The States of Guernsey results from the post-mortem and analysis of stomach contents of a fourth peregrine falcon have shown that it too died of professional-use pesticides.
States Veterinary Officer David Chamberlain and Deputy States Veterinary Officer Grace Hodgkinson have confirmed the results for the bird, which was found dead in June.
The first pet cat in the UK has been confirmed to have the Coronavirus this week. Although this is the first confirmed case of an animal infection with the Coronavirus strain in the UK, there is no evidence to suggest that the animal was involved in transmission of the disease to its owners or that pets or other domestic animals are able to transmit the virus to people.
