Pets on South Georgia stamps
South Georgia has issued a set of postage stamps featuring pets. During the operation of whaling stations between 1904 and 1965, a variety of animals were brought to South Georgia. Most were brought to the island to provide fresh food. As well as these useful animals, others were kept as pets purely for entertainment and company. Pets have ranged from cats and dogs to parrots and canaries. 45p - T
