The GSPCA and Guernsey Bereavement Service are teaming up for the first time to provide a training session in Pet Bereavement for those working or volunteering in the animal care industry in the Bailiwick of Guernsey.

The session is set for Wednesday 23rd April 2014 at the GSPCA Animal Shelter in St Andrews.
Zoe Le Pelley from the Guernsey Bereavement Service will lead the talk on the following subjects:
This January for the second time WEA are teaming-up with the GSPCA to provide a comprehensive course that not only provides essential information for pet care but tackles the wider issues of wild animal welfare in Guernsey.
The first course started in September and has the it's last session this evening and was a sell out so please book your place early.
Every week the classes have been interactive and full of experiences and discussions about animal care.
The course subjects include:
Today Shelter staff and volunteers had the pleasure of a local expert in Gulls give a talk on their movements, the tracking of them and their behaviour.
Paul Veron who has been ringing birds since 1976 and has rung over 53,000 himself since starting has a wealth of knowledge that he shared with the GSPCA team before they started their work.
Paul talked primarily about the movements and ringing work of the Herring Gull, Black Back Gull and Lesser Back Gull all of which breed around the Bailiwick.
