Today is World Animal Road Accident Awareness Day. No animal deserves to be left in the road following a road traffic accident. If you hit an animal, or come across one on the road, your quick action could save its life, or at least give it some dignity in death. For wildlife casualties, contact Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital on 01844 290494 or 01844 292292 (www.tiggywinkles.org.uk). Lots of useful information can also be found at https://www.rspca.org.uk/adviceandwelfare/wildlife For domestic animals, the quicker you can get them to a vet, the better. The vet will also be able to scan for a microchip to see if they can find the owner. Cats are particularly vulnerable to RTAs, as they have the freedom to roam. Every day in the UK, 630 cats will be hit by cars. 25% of hits will be fatal, meaning 75% have a chance of survival if the driver seeks help straight away. Remember, drive safely, observe speed limits, especially in areas known for animal crossings. Stay alert and be prepared to brake if an animal suddenly appears on the road. Together let’s end animal suffering in south Bucks. #worldanimalroadaccidentawarenessday #animalroadaccidentawarenessday #animalroadaccidentawareness #rspca #rspcasouthbucks #southbucksrspca #rspcabuckinghamshiresouth #petcare #careforwildlife #animalroadsafety #animalwelfare #animalsafety #animalemergency (fb)

Your Will is an opportunity to provide for the people and causes that matter most to you. Have you ever thought about leaving a legacy in your Will for local animals in need? You could consider RSPCA South Bucks Branch for your gift. We are a separate registered charity from the main RSPCA, and operate at a local level to support vulnerable animals. • We look after and rehabilitate animals that have been treated cruelly. • We foster and rehome animals in need. • We can help with vet fees for those who require it. • We educate the public on animal welfare and the prevention of animal cruelty. • We fundraise locally and via our shops to fund our work.
