NEW YORK (Web Desk) - Animal rescuers in Guernsey said a massive goldfish that had been left in a bucket was rescued after proving to be too large to make a meal for a seagull.
The Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals said members of the public reported a large goldfish in a bucket was being attacked by a seagull near Gibauderie.
"We are asked to help all sorts of animals but it is rare we are asked to help a goldfish abandoned in a bucket being attacked by a gull," GSPCA Senior Animal Care Assistant Yvonne Chauvel said in a news release.
"We have named him Captain Birdseye and despite his injuries he is doing well and if we don t find his owners in the next 3 weeks we will be looking to find him a home," she said.
GSPCA Manager Steve Byrne said the goldfish s massive size prevented him from becoming a meal for the seagull.
"Captain Birdseye is one very lucky goldfish," he said. "If he wasn t so big he would have likely been eaten."hb v .
