The GSPCA in any one year can help 150 to up 300 cats hit by cars on the road every year and there is no law in place for those that caused the accident to report the injured or in many cases deceased feline.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “On average every year the GSPCA helps between 150 and 200 cats hit by vehicles on our roads every year.”
“In one year the number rose to 300 and in that year there were 5 that I helped in just one night shift.”
146 years ago when the GSPCA was first founded road traffic incidents were something that know one would have understood and comprehended but in the fast world we now live sadly here in Guernsey they are all too common place.
In fact just last night another fatality occurred of a young cat which the GSPCA rushed too but sadly it was too late and nothing could be done.
Over recent years the GSPCA have seen anywhere between 150 and 300 cats killed on the roads of Guernsey every year and sadly far many death is very swift often through no fault of the driver.
