Dog With Neck Injury Abandoned: Rescued By AAA

Jan 21 2024

The Association for Abandoned Animals took to social media to share how they picked a dog from the streets near their sanctuary after he had very likely been trampled beneath a car.

‘He has a bad injury on his neck, caked with blood and dirt, oozing infection. He also has a bad stiffness in his legs. We hope nothing is broken’, wrote AAA.

‘But we are seething with rage. This dog has been reported yesterday evening to the Animal Ambulance. The directions were taken, the contact number of the person that reported was taken and the dog remained there.’

‘Big thanks to the two people that cared and when they realized the dog is still there today, they came to us.’

The AAA called out Animal Welfare, accusing them of leaving a dying dog to die and rot. The dog is currently at a vet’s, with updates set to come later.

Roberta Metsola Pays Tribute to Femicide Victims In Malta

Jan 21 2024

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola paid tribute to femicide victims this past weekend by visiting the bench dedicated to Paulina Dembska.

Remembering Dembska as well as Pelin Kaya, along with all other victims of femicide, Metsola also met Paulina’s sister Daria and Kaya’s sister Derya.

She described the meetings as emotional and unforgettable. ‘We came together to remember the two youth whose lives ended abruptly. Two women who are no longer with us but whose voice we will carry forward.’

Dembska’s memory lives on through Post Occupato, a bench in Sliema where she was brutally murdered.

“Off-Road & Camping Off Limits, But Drugs Are Ok”

Jan 21 2024

Taking to social media, Neville Ciantar, a Maltese off-road professional driver, lamented the apparent hypocrisy he has experienced as of late.

He started his post saying how going off-roading led to fines and the confiscation of his vehicle. He also experienced the same reactions by authorities when it came to tinted windows on vehicles, going camping and practicing hunting by the rules.

He contrasted this with the use of drugs which, for Ciantar, seems to be getting a pass.

‘You can carry 500 pills of ecstasy or a quarter of a kilo of cocaine. You can smoke whatever amount of marijuana you want anywhere you want. But no worries…’

‘Is this right’, asked Ciantar. He suspects that this hypocrisy is in place due to those enforcing such rules must love the drugs themselves.

‘They surely don’t want anything good for our youth’, he concluded.

The post was met with overall support, with over 150 likes and 44 comments expressing similar sentiments.

Students Create Coasters To Help Turtle In Rehabilitation

Jan 21 2024

The Ekoskola Team from Kulleġġ San Tumas More, in collaboration with Arts teacher Mark Lughermo and Ms Carmen Bonnici LSE are presently working to create turtle coasters using clay.

‘These coasters in the shape of a turtle’, a statement revealed, will be sold later on at school to raise the necessary funds to continue supporting Polly Censa.’

Polly is a loggerhead marine turtle which is presently receiving care at Xrobb l-Għaġin Wildlife Rescue Centre.

The turtle was officially adopted by the school last December and funds raised to help her get back into the sea.

Well done all!
