the ambulance was called but they cant tear down 'the hajt of sejjieh'. Its suppose to be the civil protection's job. If the cat was hurt i know that Noah's ark has an ambulance, but the cat was stuck in a way i cant describe it. i wouldn't see her she was stuck under the 'hajt of sejieh which had another wall behind it and tanks. A cat or mouse could easily go through the wall but she couldnt get back up. Sry for not explaining well but i cant find words to describe it..

Selective breeding is the process of breeding animals for particular genetic traits. I would not make that illegal but somehow I would not look upon the resulting relationship with affection. It is like designing your lover as a pre-condition for your love. There is no gene for that.

@ Rachel Spiteri.

The animal ambulance run by Noah's Ark has only started on June 1st, 2009. They are doing a terrific job notwithstanding one major problem of being located far north in cirkewwa.

The service was heavily advertised in nearly all the media so please do not blame anyone for not knowing. The only thing that I suggest is a 3 digit emergency number to make things easier during emergencies.

On the whole a BIG PROSIT TO NOAH'S ARK.

Keep up the good work.

>>>When you really love someone you change your lifestyle accordingly ....
You have got it wrong mate. I beg to differ with your hasty and over zealous comments....When homing a dog you must consider his temperament, his character, whether your house is suitable for that particular breed or not. Whether you have sufficient amount of time to dedicate to your pet or not!

Today i heard a kitten moaning as she was trapped in the ''hajt of sejjieh''( sry dont know what its called in English, if it has a name) I called civil protection they told me to call animal welfare, the number they gave did not work(could of been my fault , misunderstood a number) and when i called directory for the welfare number they did not have it. All these calls where made from my mobile as i was far away from home, could not search it online. Its a big shame, they did not have their number. They should be ashamed. Animals come last for this country and its not something to be proud of. Important animal numbers should be on the directory and even automatically inserted in our mobile phone like the emergency, mobile directory and customer care numbers are. After arriving home me n my bf went back but we couldn't hear her, could be her mother was with her or she took her somewhere, or worse ...death. Thanks to Island Sanctuary who helped by giving me idea were to call. Tks

@ adrian aquilina
'breeders should be tightly controlled' I totally agree with you on this. 'there should be very few or no breeders' I do not agree with you. Be aware that there is a great difference between breeders who occasionally breed and show their dogs and breeders who earn their income by breeding continuously from their stock. I love my dogs and enjoy my hobby, which is showing my dogs locally and abroad. A breeder who invests thousand of euros to campaign his dogs overseas cannot achieve good results without giving 100% care, love and attention to his beloved dogs. You may ask the vets how much care and attention we give to our dogs, before stating that pure breed dogs have more health problems. Many reputable breeders here in Malta are achieving very good results with their beloved dogs abroad, and this is achieved by attentively select dogs which are registered with foreign and local kennel clubs and that they have excellent bloodlines. Many Maltese breeders have had their puppies homed abroad, and this was achieved because they have excellent dogs! http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20080330/social/malta-kennel-club

@Cristopher attard: "I prefer to have a pedigree dog, a breed which I am knowledgeable about and is compatible with my lifestyle."

I respect your opinion but please do not call yourself an animal lover. When you really love someone you change your lifestyle accordingly not design that someone artificially like a toy to suit your own whims and fancies.

Aug 12th 2009, 17:27

breeders should be tightly controlled,pet shops should not sell live animals...there should be very few or no breeders..the emphasis in finding a pet should be to go to sancturies..in general a stray or abandoned animal makes a better pet.unfortunatly more health problems occur with pedigree animals then your avarage pet..

@ Frank Borg

Fireworks do hassle people but not 24/7... I live very close to this street and hear barking all the time. Very simple, if only one of the 44 dogs barks, the others continue... their barking echoes in my head! well if these dogs dont bark 24/7 as Mr.Frank Borg is stating, then i will come to a conclusion that these dogs sleep during office hours, as from the time i step home until i go to bed, not to mention in the middle of the night, these dogs just bark....
These dogs should not be kept ina residential area.. We encounter endless barking and nasty smells... try and walk past his garage - the smell is unbearable!

Aug 12th 2009, 14:36

@O. Formosa - Thanks for pinpointing this video. I am sure that you have heard the British Kennel Club Chairman's comments at the end of it. A responsible dog breeder knows his dog's weaknesses and tries to breed away from that.

@Joseph Schembri - I beg to differ. I prefer to have a pedigree dog, a breed which I am knowledgeable about and is compatible with my lifestyle. Therefore I won't have any surprises when it comes to dog's character and temperament.

When it comes to breeding dogs one has to make a difference between inbreeding and line breeding. While in breeding mother to son, father to daughter breeding are frowned upon, line breeding (Grandfather to Granddaughter, Grandmother to Grandson) is acceptable in dogs. Usually line breeding produces the best results.

Well done to the Animal Welfare Dept and Dr Mario Spiteri for the sterling wotk they are doing.

Frank Borg - If this person really loves his dogs as you say he does, then why doesn't he neuter them all? The roof and garage is no place for dogs, these need regular exercise and human contact.

It amazes me what an animal-loving nation we are, most comments hereunder just jumped to the conclusion that these dogs are barking day and night, without even knowing the real situation. I have to make up with human noise day and night too, but I don't go and complain because a child screams in my neighbourhood, or that a DIY freak happens to live next door, or that I have to put up with loud mobile discos passing through our street, and above all the festa fireworks all throughout summer, because after all, God created humans and animals to live side by side.

Aug 12th 2009, 09:24

Can anyone become a 'breeder' by just accumulating dogs and breeding them? Anywhere else one would need a license, with very strict conditions to be observed. Is there not a law regarding the maximum number of dogs one can keep in a residential area? I know that in Canada a maximum of three dogs are allowed. If you want to keep more, then you have to move out into the country - away from residences - somewhat difficult to do here. The fact that the dogs seemed to be in good health is not excusable. Garages and roofs are not suitable to keep dogs. What sort of exercise were these dogs getting?

O. Formosa

Aug 12th 2009, 01:18

Where did it say these dogs bark 24/7 or disturb neighbours?

@Those who can't read "almost 24/7" means ALMOST 24/7. 8am-11pm Tue-Sun is ALMOST 24/7 to me! How can you write about peace&quiet when THERE IS NO PEACE&QUIET unless you live in a remote area?!

@K. Camilleri- Pls read Point 1 of my 1st comment in reply to yours

@Peter Abela- Take them where? Have you tried to home a dog lately or visited a shelter? The reality is very sad. &in this case, why take them?

@Christopher Attard- http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/7569064.stm

@F Galea, A Sciberras, D Bugeja, J Schembri&especially J Fenech I agree with you!

I rescued a 5-year old large breed dog. Quieter than my neighbour's kids. Barked only if left alone, which I understand since he'd been abandoned!! Got a dogsitter until I took him to Obediece School in Pembroke. Since then I learnt how to train it&all my neighbours love him.

If anyone's dogs bark 24/7,if people still think it's ok to blow up bombs at ridiculous hours, it only shows how much we still need to educate ourselves & learn to respect both humans&animals; grow instead of complain.

Joseph Schembri

Aug 12th 2009, 00:38

@Christopher Attard:

Incidentally the best way to know what kind of dog you are going to get is to adopt an adult from a sanctuary. That way you will get no nasty surprises as one gets with the inbred 'pure breeds' (very often the result of what we humans would call incest) that you seem to have a fondness of.

Unfortunately people have no rights here in Malta. I feel that we are still in the middle ages even though we have been in the EU for five years now; Malta still carries the same problems, pollution, corruption on building permits, no human rights, etc. is this the new life that we had been promised by P.N. during the EU referendum campaign five years ago???????? and what about animal rights, and neighbour rights for having to listen to dogs barking? especially in government housing estates (apartments)? kullhadd jaghmel li jrid!! Malta is still a jungle in the EU, if not worse than ever!!!

@ Joseph Schembri
>>>With so many homeless dogs I would prohibit the breeding of so called pedigree dogs and make it illegal.
Thank God that you are not in power to do so. Prohibiting the breeding of pedigree dogs is not going to diminish the problem of unwanted and stray dogs in our streets and dog sanctuaries. Educations of breeders and dog owners can solve the problem of homeless dogs.

>>>The dogs are sometimes so inbred and genetically problematic
Are you a vet mr schembri? From what university have you specialized on canine subjects?

>>>>Any real dog lover would adopt a dog from one of the dog sanctuaries.
Yes it is a noble act to adopt a dog from a sanctuary. However I would prefer to own a pedigree dog rather than a stray dog whom I don’t know anything about his background and temperament.

Pets should not be kept on roofs and garages, otherwise they are not pets!!

In these days, some argue they keep dogs on roofs for security!!
If your neighbour's dog is annoying you and they (the neighbours) do not want to listen, then find yourself a lawyer and proceed to court. It will take time, but they will surely listen.

Aug 11th 2009, 17:40

With so many homeless dogs I would prohibit the breeding of so called pedigree dogs and make it illegal. Some of these so called animal lovers go to extreme lengths to produce dogs that sell for thousands of Euros. It is nothing more than a cruel business.

The dogs are sometimes so inbred and genetically problematic that they even have to be 'helped' to breed. The offspring are often born with genetic problems and congenital diseases that require constant medical attention. But some are happy to pay the thousands of Euros necessary to have a 'show' dog. In my opinion they are ugly and put their owners in a bad light.

Any real dog lover would adopt a dog from one of the dog sanctuaries. Many of these dogs are mongrels (which makes them stronger and nicer) but for those so inclined one may even find a few pure breds.

Island Sanctuary in Delimara, for example, has over a hundred wonderful dogs each of whom would love its adoptive human to bits!

I do agree with raids done by the animal welfare. however I am sure that the animal welfare are fully aware that horses (karozzini) are kept in a scorching sun and are not doing anything to help these animals. it is not enough to cover slightly the horse with a piece of sheet. i have seen the horses myself today near the Valletta Waterfront, standing for long hours in the sun. These are animals too and they don t have protection. ANIMAL WELFARE PLEASE TAKE ACTION, THIS IS ABUSE TOO.

a. sciberras

Aug 11th 2009, 11:53

isn't it time that breeding is controlled by imposing a tax or at least enforcing microchipping? i don't know if licenses already exist for breeders.
so many pets are dumped in the streets - with a pedigree or otherwise - and we continue allowing uncontrolled breeding.
i understand why some owners want a pedigree pet, although really and truly the devotion given back by a pet is also given by a nonpure breed...
however better controls and restrictions are definitely needed both on the breeder and the buyer.

@ Malcolm Mifsud

I don't know the contact number of the Animal Welfare Department, but last summer I had always been seeing a horse stranded in a middle of the field in the middle of summer. I reported directly to A.L.E in Malta and soon they sent police to the horse's location in Gozo.

One have to call A.L.E Department at the Police HQ in Floriana as well as the Animal Welfare Department.

So that one will be lucky enough to catch some attention from either of two.

T Aquilina

Aug 11th 2009, 11:03

The Animal Welfare Dept should - must - insist on a immediate moratorium on breeding of pets. There can never be enough sanctuaries as the number of unwanted pets keep growing and the number of strays is surely out of hand. Problems are being created by these people for the state that has to provide emergency & relief services, AFM, vet and 101 other services, food and medication for rescued animals, etc is simply not fair. Not least, the stress caused to these poor abandoned or maltreated pets cannot be dismissed.

Malcolm Mifsud

Aug 11th 2009, 10:12

Can anyone tell me where I can contact the said Animal Welfare Department? I have been reporting the owner of two dangerous dogs kept in a garage and a balcony of a Xemxija apartment for two summers now, but the police either ignore our calls or worse still, try to accuse us (the neighbours) of over reacting! Some weeks ago a pet dog was brutally mauled to death after it went sniffing down the driveway where one of these dogs is kept. For the record, the owner was due to appear in court sometime last year but he did not show up!

Aug 11th 2009, 09:55

By the way: DOG ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE KEPT IN GARAGES OR ROOFS.

On the roof i cant stand the heat and in the garage i cant breath properly, so what make you think a dog can..

If you are using these dogs to breed and make money off of them, keep them comfortable in your house. THESE GOES NOT TO JUST BREEDERS BUT TO ALL PEOPLE WHO KEEPS THEIR PETS ON ROOFS AND GARAGES...

If you want your house clean, SIMPLE, dont have pets...

Rachel Spiteri

Aug 11th 2009, 09:51

I passed from in front of this house yesterday.. To be honest i didn't hear dogs bark. Cant imagine how 44 dogs are in this house and you can't hear one bark. But anyways, what i wanted to say is this, i honestly thought that someone died or drugs were found because there was about 10 or more policemen. So what i hope is this, that in a couple of months, they return to the house and see if the condition is better. If its not and the dogs will still be there, the JOB is not being done.

Frank Galea

Aug 11th 2009, 09:43

If animals are man's best friends, let us keep as many of these friends as we want to. There should be no limitations on how many dogs or any other pets we should have at our homes. When you have a friend, you don't care of its negatives like barking. You have to accept it, as it is! Either Friend or not!

Elizabeth Flask

Aug 11th 2009, 09:36

I must add my comment about this article and before anyone can think otherwise I stress the point that I am an animal lover myself but I would never dream of causing inconvenience to my neighbours because of my pets. Unfortunately that is what a lot of people do with the excuse that they love animals they put the welfare of these pets before those of their neighbours and I know what it means when dogs are left barking their heads off all time of day as happens in the street where I live. My alarm is the barking of about 8 dogs (kept in a garage) at 05.30 in the morning Monday to Sunday. The last noise I hear before going to sleep is the barking of dogs and that may be around midnight or one o'clock in the morning. Forget about having a nap in the afternoon unless maybe you put ear plugs on. No use asking the owner of these dogs to shut them up. You are made fun of! Unfortunately the police are not co-operative at all when it comes to ask these people to keep their dogs under control.

C Falzon

Aug 10th 2009, 23:38

I agree wholeheartedly with Rosalind Agius and O. Formosa regarding the breeding of dogs, and even cats for that matter. There are so many stray and unwanted pets that need a good home that it makes no sense to breed even more. On the one hand there are volunteers working hard to neuter stray animals and to find homes for unwanted andf abandoned pets and on the other hand there are people breeding more animals, many of which will eventually end up dumped by their owners adding to the problem. But then again maybe, like hunting and excessively loud fireworks, dog breeding is a local tradition or something.

George Casha

Aug 10th 2009, 23:33

Actually there is a law against incessant barking in residential areas. The residents have to make a formal complaint at their Police Station after which the owner is prosecuted unless he stops the nuisance.
The Police have set a dangerous precedent today by not taking any action against this so called breeder. The message the Police have sent out today is that if you keep as many animals as you like in adequate conditions and in a residential area, you are not breaking any law although these dogs are obviously disturbing the neighbors peace. Well, this is certainly not the case and one would not expect such ignorance from our Police force.
I urge the residents to report the matter and make sure it gets to the Law Courts.
This is not about dogs or any other animals per se but about one being able to enjoy some peace and quiet after a days work. It’s a fundamental human right but something that is very lacking on these Islands.

24/7 fireworks Formosa?
You seem to have a very fertile imagination and as they say imagination is a wonderful thing.
This in no way to approve the holding of so many dogs which no doubt annoy neighbors and I wonder how he was allowed to keep so many dogs in a residential area.

D.Galea

I had two dogs and had to have a license for each dog. Do these dogs have the necessary license? Or one does not need a license if he is doing business with them.

Aug 10th 2009, 20:58

How selfish for those who throw blind accusations on somebody. I personally know this man, and for many years as well. He loves his dogs dearly, they are his life, and he doesn't breed for the money! Can anybody come forward and say that he bought or knows of somebody who bought a dog from this breeder? He may have too many, but it's not fair for anyone to say that he does it for the easy income, he breeds lovely dogs and I know instances when people offered him very good money for his breeding but he never accepted, he loves his dogs, fullstop. If his dogs barks 24/7, (which I know they don't), then it's a different story, but then again, doesn't fireworks hassle a lot of people?
The fact that the raid was carried out by the AWC, then it was an animal welfare issue and not a neighbours complaint, and their suspicions were proved wrong, but good for them to act, welldone. The fact that the dogs weren't removed means that they are of no convenience to their neghbours.

Philip Grech

Aug 10th 2009, 20:47

Fisrt of all, nobody said that they were barking or annoying the neighbours. If dogs are well kept, they rarely bark. Secondly if the report said that the 16 dogs were living in a penthouse, would it have been OK? because penthouses are just buildings on roofs, and the dogs were not outside. Come to think of it, what about who keeps pigeons in a loft on the roof? These are a real nuisance to neighbours.

M. Camilleri

Aug 10th 2009, 20:42

The Animal Welfare depratment should check the part of the former hotel (Libyan hiotel, was it?) in Bahar ic-Caghaq where a number of dogs are being kept. Yeh bark all night and all day. A check is in order.

K Camilleri

Aug 10th 2009, 20:14

@ O Formosa.

Unfortunatley Mr. Formosa there are a lot of dogs which bark constantly and annoy neighbours. At least some people (or a lot of Maltese) get some pleasure from HEARING fireworks but I have never encountered someone who loves to hear dogs bark. Fireworks are not 24/7, if you know a place where they do fire fireworks 24/7 please tell me so I go an live there because I love them.

Unfortunatley we live in a world where you cannot stop the noises around us. However, going back to the subject, I cannot see how 44 dogs all together can have an easy life, especially the ones living on the roof with the scorching temperatures.

Rosalind Agius

Aug 10th 2009, 18:51

The sanctuaries are packed up with dogs, and everyday unwanted dogs are dumped in the streets but certain people still breed. For money and nothing else. Easy income.
Well done to the Animal Welfare Department, thank you for helping the animals.

Peter Abela

CSaliba

Aug 10th 2009, 18:18

This is bad news. It now seems to be ok with the police for your neighbour to keep not just one dog but 16 dogs on his roof barking day and night and driving everybody mad. Does this mean that from now onwards it will be useless to go to the police station to complain of a dog kept barking on a neighbour's roof so as to get the peace you are entitled to in your own home?. The police have now sanctioned this selfish attitude. It will definitly not improve neighbourly relations which seems to have taken a down plunge recently.

George Casha

Aug 10th 2009, 17:11

Well said Ms. Hansen. Although I'm a dog lover myself I would never allow a pet to annoy my neighbors, unlike some persons in my street. Some people are really egoistic and selfish not to allow others enjoy their peace and quiet at home.
I really pity the people who live in that street as I know what they have to put up with. Surely this person is breaking some law with all the noise generated by these dogs and all he gets is a warning to improve conditions? How pathetic!. It's no wonder that sometimes people take matters in their own hands as we don't have any protection whatsoever from the authorities anymore from people of this sort!

O. Formosa

Aug 10th 2009, 17:03

1-No roof or garage is meant for animals. Well done to the authorities for checking this out. I hope they've ensured these animals are well kept. I wonder how ceiling fans are enough to cool down a roof with 16 dogs in it!
2-Thank you Ms Hansen for mentioning fireworks. To those complaining about the barking, please note dogs DONT bark 24/7! They bark if they sense a threat or for particular reasons, unlike some humans. If a dog barks incessantly,or misbehaves, it is the owner's fault for not training their pets correctly or not giving them the appropriate attention. You may recommend http://dogtrainingmalta.org/ if you have any neighbours that don't know how to control their pets. To those complaining about the barking, what is your say on the almost 24/7 fireworks, construction sites everywhere, late hooting of horns, people talking across balconies (at 7am!)& all the useless noise we are constantly bombarded with?
3-With ALL the strays and abandoned pets looking for a home PLEASE explain to me why we still breed animals&in such quantities&why people pay for these pets,when they can get a loving,appreciative,beautiful pet from any shelter? It is just so sad to see such double standards!

Is the property licenced for commercial use. Even if it is, I would not have thought that breeding animals on this scale in a residential property is wise both from a health point of view as well as suitability for the animals in question.

Pamela Hansen

Aug 10th 2009, 16:20

I fully agree with PH Camilleri. This is a residential area. It is about time that local councils together with the appropriate authorities (the police and others) begin to respect the right of communities to peace and quiet in areas, which are meant to be residential.
The police acted in this instance and good for them.
However, barking, yapping and whining dogs have become a real nuisance in many localities and there should be someone who is responsible for stopping the racket.
Mind you in a country where explosives are allowed to shatter the peace almost every single day and night in the summer, I suppose I am barking up the wrong tree.

Can someone explain to me how the neighbours do not complain? I would go nuts with 44 dogs barking 24/7!

Isn't there any law that states the maximum number of pets one can hold in an inhabitated area. Surely 44 dogs make a terrible noise and a terrible smell.

The Police should be commended. It is about time the authorities made sure animals, as well as humans, are protected.

Amusingly, in this Birkirkara raid the Police seem to have broken the law themselves. The Police van is parked facing the wrong side in a one-way street!

John Farrugia

Aug 10th 2009, 15:36

The dogs should be moved to and brought up somewhere else, not in this residential area - neighbors are being annoyed day and night by their barking. Improving the conditions of the property is not a solution for bringing up 44 dogs in a residential area!!! If the dogs are going to be kept here in Birkirkara, then maybe we need a Human Welfare Department too!

PM Camilleri

Aug 10th 2009, 15:35
