From visiting the GSPCA to now A&E we seem to have very inquisitive cows here in Guernsey.

Also a few weeks ago a herd decided to pop by the GSPCA Animal Shelter.

On Saturday night the GSPCA Animal Ambulance Warden was called out to a stop our ambulance rarely visits.

Sarah Harrison GSPCA team member and ambulance warden said “On Saturday we had one of our more unusual calls at around 10pm.”

“It’s not everyday our warden gets a call from the Joint Emergency Control Centre to say there are cows at A&E.”

Blizzard conditions highlight concerns for tethered Guernsey cattle

Submitted by GSPCA on 13:13, 20th Mar, 2013 | 0

Last week the GSPCA was inundated with calls of tethered cattle that were left out in the blizzard conditions.

Despite the awful weather, Shelter staff drove to many of the animals to check their condition and we reported our concerns to the owners.

With tethering of cattle being a legal practice within Guernsey the Shelter was unable to take any action other than passing our concerns to the owners of the animals.
