The GSPCA are delighted to announce two more grey seal pups are back in the wild.
To see a VT of the release please visit https://youtube.com/shorts/1EuW3XU87wQ?feature=share
Geoff George Head of Marinee Mammals said “This weekend we had another fantastic seal release.”
“Baby Shark and Grinch two pups rescued so thin and with so many health problems were fit enough, large enough and with good weather we took them back to a Guernsey beach to be released back to the wild.”
“Neither hung around and sot into the water so quickly and it wasn’t long before they were off.”
“That leaves us with 3 and it won’t be long before they are back in the wild.”
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Another magical seal pup release took place on Sunday.”
“This time it was Grinch and Baby Sharks turn to be returned to their home waters in Guernsey.”
“That leaves us with Doyle, Dolly and Valentine and they too are close to being able to be released back to the wild.”
“It is unlikely to see a seal pup now until the new season but we have lots of details online.”
“We still need support for those seal pups in our care from donation to their care to the new Wildlife Hospital we are raising funds for.”
“We are also finalists in the Bailiwick of Guernsey in the Insurance Corporation Conservation Awards and you can click here to submit your vote - Guernsey Vote: The Peter Walpole People’s Choice Award - Insurance Corporation - Personal and Commercial Insurance in Guernsey and Jersey .”
“The GSPCA is delighted to be a finalist and we need your help for voting for the Peter Walpole’s People’s Choice Award. Voting will be open from until 11pm on Sunday 19th May.”
There are many ways to help us help the 4 seal pups and here are a few ideas –
If You Spot A Seal Pup
If you find a seal pup that looks FIT AND HEALTHY and it shows no signs of distress, you may consider monitoring it from a safe distance for 24 hours. Unfortunately, too many seal pups get taken into captivity because people think they have been abandoned. If the mother does not return within 24 hours, we would ask you to contact 01481 257261.
A healthy pup looks like a big, stuffed maggot without a neck. However, a thin pup looks sleek (but not bony) and has a visible neck, like a healthy dog.
PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE SEAL. They can give a nasty bite, which will become infected by bacteria that live in a seal’s mouths.
Note: Do not allow dogs or other animals to harass a seal.
If a seal is scared back into the water, it could then be washed out to sea by strong currents and be lost. You should not put a seal pup back in the sea as it may get into difficulty.
If a seal pup is sick, thin or injured then we would ask you to contact our 24-hour cruelty and advice line
When reporting an injured, sick or abandoned seal to the GSPCA, please make sure you are able to supply the following information:
Caution:- Handling of any animal either domestic, wild, dead or alive may be potentially hazardous. Obvious dangers include bites, scratches and general hygiene issues. Common sense should be applied in all instances and, if unsure, seek additional advice or assistance. Personal hygiene should be taken into consideration after handling any animal, whether it’s domestic, wild, dead or alive.
For any questions please contact 01481 257261
Please remember and keep your animals and pets safe during the high winds, especially those that are kept outdoors.
