Last night The Pavilion hosted the Dingley Dell Flying Visits 14th event and first of its kind in Guernsey. The Dingley Dell Flying Visits are a series of events celebrating the journey of the pig from farm to plate.
Seal pups Trinity and Eden who were rescued after being found extremely emaciated at only 17 and 13kgs when they should have been around 40kgs in weight had a very exciting afternoon today.
Both seals have roughly doubled their weight since being rescued in January and battled off a number of ailments, so today were introduced to the large pool here at the GSPCA.
Eden now at 25kgs and Trinity at 31kgs had very different approaches at entering the pools but once in started having a great time.
World Wildlife Day is an opportunity to celebrate the many beautiful and varied forms of wild fauna and flora and to raise awareness of the multitude of benefits that conservation provides to people.
At the same time, the Day reminds us of the urgent need to step up the fight against wildlife crime, which has wide-ranging economic, environmental and social impacts. Wildlife has an intrinsic value and contributes to the ecological, genetic, social, economic, scientific, educational, cultural, recreational and aesthetic aspects of sustainable development and human well-being.
Yesterday the GSPCA welcome 11 ladies and one gentleman along to the first ever course of its kind to be held in Guernsey.

Once again just before Easter the GSPCA are pleased to announce that thanks to OSA Recruitment we will be in town with a Pop Up Easter Shop as Pet Adoption Month Starts.
From Monday the 31st March until Thursday 3rd April the shop will have everything you need for animals this Spring, details and a small selection of animals looking for homes and lots for the kids.
The Shop will be open from Monday 31st March until Thursday 3rd April between 9am and 5pm and on sale will be -
This week is Shrove Tuesday and many of us will shopping for our ingredients today. The GSPCA would like to remind everyone to think of the produce that you are going to use and please look to buy Animal Welfare friendly products such as free range eggs.
Although the EU legislation has forced many battery farms to improve their standards, chickens that live as free range birds have a much better quality of life.
Last night we held our second volunteer evening od 2014 and once again we overwhelmed with the fantastic turn out.
With 28 new faces popping along to find out about volunteering at the GSPCA Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager and Sarah Ozanne Animal Care Assistant were on hand.
After a presentation on the GSPCA, handouts, a few forms and learning hot to work safely at the Shelter by Steve Byrne, Sarah then sat down with each person interested in helping at the Shelter.
