Taking care of strays

Last week my street witnessed a brutal mauling of a cat by a pack of stray dogs. If memory serves well, there had already been a complaint some time ago about this pack of dogs but as personally witnessed, no action has been taken to rectify the situation. This is leading residents to be scared that this pack of dogs might attack their pets and even worse, their children.

A few weeks ago a man was taken to court having taken care of a number of strays that he picked up in the Pembroke/Swieqi area but did not have the necessary resources to adequately take care of these strays. The residents in the immeadiate area of where the temporary compound is situated also complained because of the noise and for health reasons.

Instead of using up money to prosecute this man, who at the end of the day had his heart set at doing a good deed, funds should have been made available either to improve the set-up of this compound or to create a facility whereby strays can be given the love they crave so much for and be well fed and taken care of.
