Last weekend the 18th Torteval Scarecrow Festival took place through the delightful lanes of the parish all starting from Torteval Church.

This was the sixth year the GSPCA took part in this wonderful community event and we are hugely grateful to the McIntyre family for the kind use of their front garden which displayed our fantastic entry ‘#GSPCATogether’.

This year the GSPCA not only had a fab entry made by Head of Scarecrows Seb Goman and the team, but we also were kindly invited to collect at the car park on the Saturday for much needed donations for the GSPCA.

This is the second year we have been allowed to join this wonderful family Guernsey event which is held in high esteem by so many.

The GSPCA are asking if anyone has any information to please call the police about a recent violent attack on a dog.

The dog whose eye will be lost after being smashed in the muzzle with a hammer as part of a sickening homophobic attack against a local children’s entertainer.

When Jenny Harding went out to feed six-year-old Alice yesterday morning she found her pet’s eye was bulging and bloody with a flat-headed hammer lying nearby.  Jenny's van had also been graffitied on the back all of which occurred in the Torteval area.
