So far, a total of 15 chickens and 18 guinea pigs have been saved from Gzira’s Duck Village, with the Gzira local council recently taking the decision to close down the controversial establishment in Manoel Island due to unsanitary conditions.
Sunshine Animal Sanctuary Malta took to Facebook to break the good news that many chickens were taken to a veterinary for a check-up while the guinea pigs were medically treated against fleas. The sanctuary’s volunteers washed the creatures and treated any wounds that may have had with hopes that the animals eventually find an owner.
So far, all of the chickens have found a new home, with more animals expected to be found as the authorities dismantle the establishment. The Duck Village housed a plethora of animals including ducks, chickens, rabbits and many more but was also a target for waste disposal, which may have contributed to its increasingly unsanitary conditions over the years.
The sanctuary called upon the public for any donations, which may be given via Revolut or BOV Mobile.
