A STEER narrowly escaped death when someone shot him between the eyes with a pellet gun, the animal’s owner has said.

ILLEGAL snares were being sold by a local shop until yesterday, Guernsey Police have confirmed.

CATS risk suffering a slow and painful death if islanders set ‘barbaric’ and illegal rabbit snares, GSPCA welfare and education officer Emma Trousdale said after a St Andrew’s cat had a narrow escape.

TWO men have been arrested in connection with an incident that saw a rabbit battered to death.

A VIDEO showing a rabbit being battered to death depicts a despicable act of cruelty, says the GSPCA.

RACING at L’Ancresse will continue until the powers that be say otherwise, says the president of the Guernsey Race Club.

NEW animal welfare legislation is likely to come into force by early next year.

AN INTERNATIONAL animal welfare charity has expressed concern at the use of farm animals for fun events in the Bailiwick.

POLICE have been called in to help the GSPCA after a man hanging dead magpies outside his house ordered the animal welfare staff off his land yesterday morning.

AFTER numerous complaints from islanders about dead magpies hanging from trees at a Castel property, the GSPCA plans to do all it can to investigate.
