Today a magical moment took place as Andrew the Jersey grey seal pup and Pebbles the Guernsey grey seal pup were returned back to the wild.
Andrew who was a tiny white coat when found in Jersey and rescued by the JSPCA and British Divers Marine Mammal Medics in November 2018 was one of the youngest and smallest pups ever to come into our care at the GSPCA. Last year Andrews progress was incredibly slow and we really worried if he would ever be fit and well enough to be released to the wild and due to his slow progress he is the longest ever seal resident to be in our care.
Pebbles who was rescued in Guernsey 5 months ago and Andrew the Jersey seal pup who is our longest ever seal in rehab at an incredible 19 months are both ready for their release to the wild.
All being well with weather conditions in the next 24 hours, both Andrew and Pebbles will be released back into the wild after an incredible amount of hard work by the team at the GSPCA and especially Geoff George Head of Marine Mammals.
Sadly earlier this year the GSPCA had to postpone the GSPCA Animal Welfare Sunday which was due to take place in May due to lockdown and the Coronavirus Crisis.
Thankfully due to Phase 5 and the amazing #GuernseyTogether spirit, events can now take place and we are delighted to announce that this wonderful and biggest event that we hold each year will indeed take place this year on Sunday 13th September 2020, and not what was being planned in 2021.
Last month we mentioned that Kim Polls on the 21st of June should have been running the Guernsey Half Marathon and she has said “On the 21st June I should be running the Butterfield half marathon, but due to Covid-19 it has been postponed.”
“I however, will still be running the 13.1 course, albeit on my own.”
“The reason for this?? When Covid-19 hit Guernsey it changed lives. It changed the Pols family's lives forever.”
“Losing Gran was one of the hardest things I have had to deal with.”
Today is the last day to send your #PetorateToCelebrate display picture to enter this wonderful fun competition by sending your picture to [email protected] or on our facebook page https://www.facebook.com/events/270979834048901 .
Guernsey Pouques by Karen Simpson is a local book and we have kindly been supplied with this wonderful picture to help promote #PetorateToCelebrate and her book which is on sale at the GSPCA.
The GSPCA has been kept extremely busy with hundreds of animals arriving each month but one of the main casualties has been dehydrated and hedgehogs with extreme head wounds due to strimmers and hedges cutters.
In the last week we have rescued 16 extremely dehydrated hedgehogs, those flat and thin for their age and size, many dehydrated and those with severe maggot infested head wounds.
Gardening injuries is a huge issue for hedgehogs at this time of year and the warm weather are causing them huge challenges and the GSPCA are urging islanders to care and help save lives.
With only a week to go we want you to get your entries in free of charge to enter #PetorateToCelebrate
A local winner will go through to compete against entries from across the British Isles and Ireland and this is a great way to celebrate and show your support to animal charities.
When you have your #PetorateToCelebrate display up we would love to see your pictures online ideally with the hashtag #PetoratetoCelebrate
With yet again a stunning week in Guernsey and the warm weather the GSPCA has had a number of reports from concerned members of the public that have seen dogs locked in cars 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 this year to reports of dogs locked inside with little or no ventilation and had further information this morning from concerned members of the public.
