### Animal Welfare Group Confronts Increasing Difficulties with Seal Pup Rescues In the picturesque yet challenging terrains of the Channel Islands, an animal welfare organization is facing unprecedented hurdles in its efforts to rescue and rehabilitate seal pups. The Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) has reported that the past year was its busiest on record, as it navigated added challenges in its mission to aid these marine creatures. The Channel Islands, known for their rugged coastlines and rich marine biodiversity, have become a focal point for conservation efforts, particularly concerning the seal populations that call these waters home. However, with the rise in the number of seal pups needing assistance, the GSPCA is stretched thinner than ever, striving to provide the necessary care and rehabilitation for these vulnerable animals. ### A Surge in Seal Pup Rescues The GSPCA's increased workload comes amid a period where the seal population on the Channel Islands is believed to be facing various threats.
