Fire Service rescue with the GSPCA

Last month the Fire Service kindly helped the GSPCA rescue a trapped wood pigeon.

Michelle Champion GSPCA Warden who was called to the scene said “The pigeon was stuck between a window and safety glass at the Royal Terrace.”

“It kept trying to move but was absolutely stuck.”

“I pressed all the buttons on the front door to the building and eventually found someone to let me upstairs but there was no one in any one of the three apartments that I worked out it must belong to.”

On Sunday 1st October the GSPCA held a Fun Family Day at the Mallard Cinema where the GSPCA took over all 4 screens to show a selection of films chosen by the public.

Sadly due to the weather the planned car boot, charity stalls and dog show were sadly cancelled and the GSPCA moved their stall into the foyer of the Mallard Cinema.

The films were well attended and included the Secret Life of Pets (Screen 3), Lion King (Screen 2), Chicken Run (Screen 4) and a packed Jungle Bunch (Screen 1).

Submitted by Steve on 18:12, 21st Nov, 2017 | 0

Today a grey seal pup rescued in Jersey on Sunday at just 11.5kg has just arrived at the GSPCA in Guernsey.

Trevor as the 2 week old pup has been named has joined Temperance of a similar age at the GSPCA seal unit in Guernsey.

Both pups are around a quarter the weight they should weigh and both very weak so are in intensive care at the GSPCA.

The Jersey pup was rescued by the local branch of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue and was discovered severely underweight at L’Etacq.

Reptile numbers a growing concern in Guernsey

Submitted by Steve on 16:54, 30th Oct, 2017 | 0

The growth in exotic pets has seen a rapid growth in many parts of the world and this is no exception here in Guernsey.

At the GSPCA we have seen a dramatic increase in reptiles in recent years.

Earlier this year saw the first ever Guernsey animal welfare prosecution with the 2012 legislation with an owner of a bearded dragon and 3 snakes who were found emaciated and dehydrated.

During 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 we would see between 1 and 3 reptiles a year of lizards and snakes at the GSPCA.
