The start of 2012 has already brought the Animal Shelter a number of sick and injured animals & birds from around the island but with the continuation of the windy weather we are asking everyone to keep a good look out.
The bad weather means it is difficult for hedgehogs and birds to feed normally and the young seal pups can easily be separated from their mothers.

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Feed the Birds Day takes place on Saturday 29 October 2011.
This special day reminds us about all the things we can do to help birds and other garden wildlife through the winter.
Birds really need your help as the clocks go back and the nights draw in. This year the GSPCA would like to encourage everyone to ‘Come Dine with the Birds’ and host your own wildlife garden party.

After more than 4 weeks and over 50 gulls affected that we know the first group of gulls will soon be released. The GSPCA has been very busy with very sick gulls with what we believe has been an outbreak of botchilism.
Over the last 4 weeks we had over 40 reports of gulls that had died or were too weak to make it after being brought in to our care. But 12 of the gulls, mostly herring but one black backed are nearly complete with their rehabilitation.

World Animal Day is celebrated each year on October 4. It started in Florence, Italy in 1931 at a convention of ecologists. On this day, animal life in all its forms is celebrated, and special events are planned on locations all over the globe. 4 October was originally chosen for World Animal Day because it is the feast day of Francis of Assisi, a nature lover and patron saint of animals and the environment.
