Malta – Less than one day after the demonstration against animal cruelty, on 5th of June,  Star, the mixed-breed dog rescued in Malta died. The dog had been shot with a pellet gun in the head 40 times, bound by her paws and muzzle, and buried alive in a grave.. She had an incredible instinct to survive: she had managed to dig her way to the surface, scratching away the sand from her face – allowing herself to free her face in order to breathe. An animal rescue employee found the dog and brought her to an animal clinic for emergency care. Star was operated on, pellets removed and was slowly recuperating.

The employee of Orpheus Animal Protective Association was called to save the life of a dog fallen into a two meters deep canal without cover. He was totally weak when our employee Róbert Nagy rescued him. It revealed when the animal was outside the canal, that he has only three legs. We don’t know why he was in the canal: he fell into or someone put him there…

Some statistics from the world concerning ownerless dog’s situation:
There are approximately 500 million stray dogs in the world. The number of ownerless dogs in Hungary is up to one million. The dog pounds kill in every year more than 150000 animals. Our association fights for the abolition of dog pounds, and for their conversion into no kill shelters. In India, there are 25 to 30 million dogs, and most of them are ownerless dogs. It is impossible to determine how many stray dogs are in the USA. We estimate their number to 68 million… In Britain, there are 120000 stray dogs.  In Taiwan there are 180000 stray dogs.

Sustainability means the possibility to endure. People think that Earth’s capacity is endless. But we use Earth’s means faster, as it could rebuild itself. It means that in some centuries, we won’t have clean water to drink, healthy food to eat, and healthy place for living. We have to change our lifestyle if we would like to have a beautiful world to our grandchildren.

They aren’t friends of the animals at all. Animals fear from them. Their task is to collect dogs from streets, and after the 2 weeks of quarantine, they can kill them. If your dog gets lost, you should have a look round at the pounds situated in your area. In general, people don’t go to flaying houses if they would have a dog, so these animals don’t have much possibility to survive. The pounds are on the margins of the world.

Natural or chemical disasters touch humans and animals together. In case of contaminations, people try to save human victims first, and after animal victims. In numbers of cases we don’t save our animal friends because of the lake of time or because of the gravity of the contamination (when human rescue team’s life is in danger for example). Here you can find some serious contaminations, and natural disasters of the last 50 years.

Once upon a time, there was a cute and hungry raccoon. He lived in Long Island, near to the residential area. He was a real gourmand, he loved sweets. Every day he went to see what sweeties are thrown out.  One beautiful day, he found a jar of Skippy peanut butter, and he was very happy due to his treasure.
