WARNING EXTREME WIND - GSPCA Advice for your pets and wildlife with High Winds here again

Submitted by Steve on 23:50, 22nd Oct, 2025 | 0

The GSPCA asks that you think of your animals with the extreme high winds here again.

Bad weather means it is difficult for hedgehogs and wild birds to feed normally, and young seal pups can easily be separated from their mothers.

Also we have to ensure our pets are safe and we must think of those that live outside if they are safe and if any precautions need to be taken.
