GSPCA Issues Advice as Storm Austin Brings High Winds to Guernsey

The GSPCA is urging islanders to take extra care with their pets, livestock and local wildlife as high winds associated with Storm Austin pass through the Bailiwick.

Strong winds and heavy weather can present significant risks to animals, particularly those housed or kept outdoors. The GSPCA is encouraging owners to check that all animals have access to safe, secure shelter, fresh water, food and protection from the elements.

WARNING EXTREME WIND - GSPCA Advice for your pets and wildlife with more High Winds due

Having recently experienced Storm Goretti and the damaged caused the GSPCA asks that you think of your animals with the extreme high winds due.

Bad weather means it is difficult for hedgehogs and wild birds to feed normally, and young seal pups can easily be separated from their mothers which we have seen 6 in as many weeks needing our help.

Limited Access to GSPCA Following Storm Goretti – Emergency Number Only Operational

Following the severe impact of Storm Goretti, which brought winds close to 100mph last night, the GSPCA is continuing to clear significant damage across its site. At present, there is no access to the GSPCA via the Croix du Bailiff direction due to fallen trees blocking the lane. This route is not accessible by foot, bike, or vehicle until further notice.
