For the third time WEA teamed up with the GSPCA to provide a comprehensive course that not only provided essential information for pet care, but tackles the wider issues of wild animal welfare in Guernsey.
The course subjects included:
- Wild animal rescue,
- Emergency care,
- Domestic animal health checking,
- Animal handling and grooming,
- Animal behaviour and psychology,
- Nutrition and diets for animals,
- An introduction to the GSPCA and the history of animal welfare,
- and an Introduction to careers with animals
The Tutor for the course was Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager who has over 16 years experience managing RSPCA Animal Shelters, a wealth of experience from owning a large variety of his own pets, volunteering and working in a number of other animal environments, experience in working with International groups in animal care and has been with the GSPCA for over 3 years.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "We had a lovely group at the WEA GSPCA Animal Care Course this Autumn."
"We are planning another course in September 2015 and we have other courses already planned."
"Thank you to Katie Bisson, Dana Jungervis, Chris Johnson, Robin Glegg, Agniesake Balcerek, Start Smale, Sara Sarre, Karen Austen, Linda Jones and Keren Seward for taking part."
