The main employment is based on agriculture and tourism. For more information on the background of the area, visit the <a href="http://www.cyngor-gwynedd.gov.uk">Gwynedd Council</a> website.</small></p> <p><small>With such an extensive coastline, many of our wildlife problems are marine-related with abandoned seal-pups during autumn/winter and fledgeling seagulls during spring/summer. As with most other areas we also have the constant problem of unwanted or neglected pets requiring rehoming, the need for assisted payment for neutering and other veterinary treatment, and the health-monitoring of the ever-expanding feral cat populations. All this requires <strong>MONEY & VOLUNTEERS.</strong></small></p> <p><font color="#FF0000" size="3">3 things you may not know about the RSPCA: </font> <ol> <li><small>West Gwynedd is one of  187 RSPCA Branches in England and Wales - <a href="http://www.scottishspca.org"> Scotland</a> and  <a href="http://www.ispca.ie">Ireland</a> have their own Societies.</small></li> <li><small>An RSPCA Branch has existed in the area for many years - Bangor Branch was established in 1877. This Branch then amalgamated with Beaumaris, Menai Bridge and Conwy Branches in the 1880s to jointly finance the appointment of a full-time Inspector. The Caernarfonshire West and Anglesey Branch was divided on 20 November 1970, and was renamed West Gwynedd soon after local government reorganisation in 1973. </small></li> <li><font size="3"><strong><u>Each Branch is a separately registered charit</u>y</strong></font><small>. As such we are each responsible for raising and controlling our own funds. This means that: </small></li> </ol> <p align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="3"><b><blink>ALL MONEY SPENT LOCALLY </blink></b></font></p> <p align="center"><font color="#FF0000" size="3"><b><blink>HAS TO BE RAISED LOCALLY</blink></b></font></p> <p><font color="#FF0000" size="3">How is the Money Raised ? </font></p> <p><small>For each national RSPCA member living in a Branch's area, the local Branch receives Ł3.00 (less per person for joint members). Some benefactors very kindly leave us a legacy in their will. The rest of the money is raised by unpaid volunteers running fund-raising events such as stalls, boot sales, charity shops, flag-days, house-to-house collections, sponsored events, collecting boxes etc. If you have original (feasible !) ideas for fund-raising, please let us know.</small></p> <p><small><marquee bgcolor="#00FF00" border="0">Can you please help in any of the following events in
