This New Years once again the GSPCA want all animals and humans to have a safe and enjoyable celebration.

Every year we hear of firework related incidents involving animals and children. While fireworks may be exciting and pretty to look at and its fun to celebrate many celebrations with a bang, we must put our safety, the safety of our pets and the local wildlife first. 

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “As we fast approach 2024 we want to ensure any fireworks events this New Year are notified to islanders.”

Submitted by Steve on 00:25, 13th Dec, 2023 | 0

We have an incredible team at the GSPCA that do so much 24/7.

Every day can be a challenge from animals needing rescuing to those so sick we are unable to help, cruelty cases to those animals owners can no longer care for.

Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager and Trustee for the Association of Dogs and Cats Home (ADCH) said “We have an amazing team here at the GSPCA, as do so many charities across the world.”

“Those that chose to work for a charity care with a passion for what they do, but what we are faced with every day can be upsetting and so challenging.”
