SSPCA animal centre to be featured on TV
The Scottish SPCA is to be featured in a new 10-part series from BBC Scotland.
The series will go behind the scenes at Scotland’s animal welfare charity as they care for thousands of wild animals at their National Wildlife Rescue Centre in Fishcross.
Produced by Maramedia, this new series will feature otters, orphaned fox cubs, badgers to eagles, seals cubs and hundreds of hedgehogs.
Scottish SPCA chief executive Kirsteen Campbell said the programme would highlight the work done by the team at the centre.“Our wildlife centre is rarely seen so this is a great opportunity for the public to view first-hand the wild animals we rescue, rehabilitate and release, while fully respecting the needs of all the animals in our care,”she added.
Nigel Pope, creative director at Maramedia, said:“Seeing these wild animals at close quarters is a real privilege and offers viewers a chance to learn much more about Scotland’s amazing wildlife.”
Tom Cara, series producer at Maramedia, said:“The access to animals you’d only ever see from the end of a telescope, is incredible and the resilience and brilliance of the skilled Scottish SPCA staff really shines through, as does their passion for giving every single animal they receive absolutely the best care possible.” The series is currently in production and will be delivered to the BBC towards the end of 2018.
