Monument to Star unveiled at Animal Welfare Centre
A monument to Star, the dog which was buried in a pit and left for dead earlier this year, was inaugurated this morning at St Francis Animal Welfare Centre.
The dog lost its battle for life but its plight ensured that awareness of animal cruelty soared.
The monument was unveiled by Rural Affairs Minister George Pullicino at the opening of an Open Day at the centre in Ta'Qali.
Mr Pullicino pointed out that the centre was opened exactly a year ago and had since then treated 14,000 animals. Most of them were taken to the centre at Ta' Qali at night, highlighting the benefits of a 24-hour service.
Mr Pullicino also observed that the animal ambulance, which is also operated on a 24-hour service, was called out a staggering 6,750 in a year.
He said the government's next step in animal welfare is a law to ensure that all dogs are micro-chipped by the end of June next year. He welcomed the fact that 5,500 dogs have already been micro-chipped.
The minister said the governemnt is starting the building of permanent shelters for horses in the Baviera, Marsamxett and St Elmo areas of Valletta and is awaiting permits for shelters in Sliema and Qawra.
The bronze monument, showing Star lying down, is the work in bronze by Gianni Pace.
The Open Day continues up to 5 p.m. A number of animal welfare NGOs have set up stands to promote their exhibits.

Alex Ellul, EXTREMISTS are those who take every opportunity to present their personal agenda at all times, even when the topic being discussed is different! THEY are the ones who "try to convince" others with illogical and unreasonable arguments! Meanwhile, I suggest you inform yourself better before trying to write about a subject you seem unfamiliar with. Whereas it is true that Star was made to suffer illegally, you must realise that most shots are clean shots and thus the birds are not made to suffer unnecessarily. Finally, you ask "What you Say?" ???!!!!! Well, sweet dreams dear! Bullfighting may have been banned in Catalunya, obviously out of spite to the Spaniards! Contrarily, hunting is legally practised the world over, whereas the Maltese hunters are back to enjoying their Spring Hunting Season, an improvement to a couple of years ago!
Mr Alex Ellul
Oct 10th 2011, 12:56
@SZD: Why do you have to call others who happen to hold a different opinion than yours, EXTREMISTS/ Wouldn't it be better to try to convince them and me with logic and reason? Let me give you some logic:
What's the diifference between making a beast suffer unnecessarily legally, or illegally? Example:
Star was mde to suffer illegally, while birds injured by hunters' lead shot that keep on flying and eventually die a horrible death, suffer legally, up till today. But things are moving. In one region of Spain, bullfighting hasbeen banned. What you say?

Messrs EXTREMISTS Henrik Piski and Klaus Camilleri, what does the LEGAL pastime of hunting has to do with the ILLEGAL killing of a dog?! Your extremism is not letting you reason things in their true perspective! Using your line of thought, have you ever thought of erecting a monument for the chicken, rabbit, meat (from cows, pigs, etc.), and fish you are enjoying eating from your plate??!! Please do try to be sensible!

Jekk Star kien haqqha dan il-monument, nistaw nibdew naghmlu monument lil kull kelb jew annimal li jisfa maqtul minn vjolenza. Iddispjacieni ferm ta' dak li gara lil dil-kelba imma nahseb qed ninsew mux ftit kemm il-annimal iehor qieghed jigi mahqur kull-gurnata, probabilment kull mument tal-gurnata. Allura ser noqoghdu naghmlu monument ghal-kull annimal li jigi maqtul? Naghmlu monument ghal-boxer li nstab go skip u miet wara ftit? Monument ghal-klieb tal-fenek li nstabu maqtulin gol-bahar? Ma nsibx u ma nifhimx ghaliex ntaghzlet Star, dak kollox. M'ghamlet xejn specjali biex haqqha monument.

Well said Ms Bonnici.
But we didn't bother to go to Ta' Qali. Instead we went to Tas-Silg where we visited and helped the dogs there.
Mr Vella Bardon; Dead right. The monument should have been dedicated to Star and all dogs that suffer because of bad humans. Some suffer not because their owners are cruel but because of ignorance.

So now we have a monument to Star and we still do not have a decent monument to one of the great leaders of the Maltese -- Nerik Mizzi (only a small bust) or a decent monument to the Deportees of 1942. The government must have all its priorities wrong. I hope this monument was not made out of public funds.

what has she done to deserve a monument huh? I mean, she was not a brave dog. Just because something much more powerful than you decides to kill you and you can do nothing about it doesn't mean it is bravery. Life doesn't get itself into convoluted coincidences just to appease your moral conscience you know.
She was just a random dog, sick, and its owner decided to kill it, as has been done for thousands of years in human history.

I think at least part of the answer to your question is given in the above post by Ms Maria Bonnici. There is a bigger picture here and the Star incident has given impetus to seeing that the whole matter of animal cruelty is brought into the public domain. Not before time some would say.
Grace Vella
Oct 9th 2011, 20:36
her owner did not kill it he decided to bury her alive to make her suffer ,
yes she defintley deserve a statue as a reminder of animal cruelty and by the way i cant imagine the monuments that are around us are all about bravery especially the one in luqa.
Ms Sylvia Zammit
Oct 9th 2011, 23:01
How can you conclude she was sick? Even the xxx who shot her just said she was old (at 10 if I remember well!) its owner decided to kill it - what you don't take into account is that he did this in the most brutal way he could think of! No wonder we never learn here,,,,,,As for the monument itself, it's dedicated to Star because she suffered at the hands of a so called 'human being' , (like many others have done, and still do!) - and she is a symbol of all those poor animals in Catholic European civilised Malta who have likewise suffered....but nobody was aware of their plight. BTW - what exactly do you feel for Star?
Ġ. Agius
Oct 10th 2011, 09:20
I feel that she was a very unfortunate dog and that harsher sentences (which make sense though, lumping a 20,000 fine on a family man with limited income is not going to resurrect the dog, but make one whole family worse off) should be implemented
But erecting a statue? That's almost laughable, but then again, we live in a country which idolizes Eileen Montesin, Bronk Productions and that kind of rubbish, so in a way, I'm not THAT surprised.
jennifer camilleri
Oct 9th 2011, 15:01
Well done to the artist for doing such a good job, however the authorities should enforce harsher punishments on the ones who commit crimes against animals and allow people who have dogs to enter in gardens and other public places. Dogs are part of a family and are considered as such so it is highly unfair that they are not allowed in most places. Enforce stricter laws on the ones who are not responsible owners and then monuments like these will make more sense to the country. Building a monument is not enough Mr. George Pullicino !!

so much recognition for a dog, while worse things are happening to human beings and no one even notices or cares! This is the world we live in!
Mr A Cardona
Oct 9th 2011, 21:28
One thing you are forgetting is that animals have to be cared for by humans. If not i do not have any idea who will care for them. Maybe you know otherwise and would enlighten the rest of us. Also animals do not have a voice to fight for their rights. That is why there is so much pressure on such issues.
I understand your point regards humans (especially to the eradication of innocent lives in aborition) and agree with you but caring for our four legged friends is a great step ahead.
The greatness of a society and its moral progress can be judged by the way it treats its animals.

Yesterday there was a silence protest against animal cruelty how many of you came to the protest? Are we really animally lovers? We all hear about this cruelty recently and I am very worried about dog’s whit out microchip. “Ministry’s appeal for dog owners to microchip their pets by next June, the deadline when all dogs have to be legally chipped. So far, 5,500 had been micro chipped, but it is estimated that there are some 100,000 dogs in all that have to undergo this procedure “
Hopefully the ministry in Force the Law before the deadline. I am afraid there will be more dogs on the streets or killed from responsible persons. Thanks for Animal Welfare, police and all the people who are involved to help this innocent animals.
Please take Notice.
Ms Sylvana Zarb Darmanin
Oct 9th 2011, 13:18
"He said the government's next step in animal welfare is a law to ensure that all dogs are micro-chipped by the end of June next year." I sincerely beg you Mr Minister to research further on the adverse affects of microchipping. That is, if you truly have the interest of dogs at heart! I am terrified to microchip my two dogs - they are so dear to me. I hate to realise that I am being forced to do so. It is not fair!!! My dogs are duly registered with the Police and I pay the annual fee. Should I chance the welfare of my dogs to be in accordance to the Law WHEN I am already in accordance to the present Law?!
James Dewar
Oct 9th 2011, 13:14
Yes there will be those who are against the erection of such a memorial and they are entitled to their views. However, it is essential that animal cruelty in Malta is dealt with severely and in particular that the "beating" or ill-treatment of a dog is no longer considered as commonplace or in any way justified.
This monument will serve as a reminder to all that unless practical steps are taken by those who care we will unfortunately see further vile acts of criminality resulting in the suffering and ultimate death of animals.
The figures quoted above reflecting the work of the Animal Ambulance and the Animal Welfare Centre are impressive and they should be congratulated for their efforts.
Ms Emma Xerri
Oct 9th 2011, 13:07
The statue is fine but many I am sure would have preferred an overhaul of our Animal cruelty legislation and to include stiff fines and prison sentences. Since this poor animal suffered such a cruel death, another dog was also cruelly killed by its 'owner'. This is only the tip of the ice-berg and I consider that many more such cruelties go on unnoticed and unreported in Malta.
What if the fine was Euro 50,000 and 3 years in prison for Star's killer? If I were the Judge in this case and were following "English Common Law" and not Code Law, that would have been my verdict and the with such a ruling the laws would have been amended via precedent. Do you think that this would be of a deterrent enough? If you think yes, then those responsible for amending our Code laws are also complicit in animal cruelty.
Chris Harris
Oct 9th 2011, 12:34
The monument is a brilliant gesture well done Malta, i hope sadistic morons with a tendency to turn from human to the <devil himself>, should first look at the statue before killing another poor animal or burying it alive, this also applies to other countries* as well as Gozo* and friendly Malta.

..... and parts of Ta' Qali are off limits to dogs and their owners including children's play area and other recreational areas!
Maybe Mr. Pullicino can look into this as dogs on leads are also allowed at San anton and the President's Kitchen garden and yet not allowed at Ta'Qali Family park!
Mr Ramon Zammit
Oct 9th 2011, 12:02
This monument would remember this poor dog, but the best thing that could be done to remember Star is ti serve justice to her killer!! I sincerely hope the judiciary does their job well in the appeal, just like did with Gaia's case!

Perhaps Malta has grown up and to its horror realized that in order for anything to get any publicity an MP has to be present to cut the ribbon or to do the unveiling! This shows the extent of support of social issues by a media which sometimes seems to be the mouthpiece of politicians. Sad but true.....
Gerry Cowie
Oct 9th 2011, 10:59
I would now like to suggest that a statue is erected showing an unborn human foetus and that this will ensure that awareness of cruelty to our own kind through abortion will soar.
Anybody who says the two subjects have nothing to do with each other should think again. Compare the uproar over Star to the subject of human life from conception until natural death. Then see how disproportionate was that reaction.
I am a lover of animals but I put at the end of the day I have to put people first. Certainly what happened to Star was a wicked act and deserved punishment. However some called for the most draconian action against the criminal responsible as if animals were more important.
On the subject of micro-chipping, there have been some reports about chips causing cancers in animals. Has this matter been resolved or was it incorrect to start with?
Adrian Zerafa
Oct 9th 2011, 12:06
Always playing the same tune! Rest assured if anybody starts up a petition of doing so with unborn children, I would be one of the first to sign. Take the initiative and we will support you. But please do not keep on posting these messages when Star or other abused animals are involved. It is getting annoying now.
Ms Emma Xerri
Oct 9th 2011, 13:21
Dear Gerrie
Yes micro-chipping carries the risk of cancer as it is a site of inflamation (after all the chip is a foreign body).
As for your ongoing fixation with the human feotus, I do not care much for the grown up version but much, much prefer the other animal species, so unlike yourself, I do not place man in such high regard - read Ecclesiastes and see how both man and beast are the same before God and besides we are now 6 billion and counting and pretty soon will have to start eating corpses to sustain the projected 9 billion in 50 years time. See the movie "Soylent Green". This might not have to happen however since, the NWO, including the UN have already planned a culling and the ideal number for earth is around 500 million people, working to serve the top 1% and keep them living in the lap of luxury.

Gerry, you do ***NOT*** like animals, period.
Statements like "as if animals are more important" betray your inner hatred on everything concerned with animal welfare; you have stooped even lower in your hole spreading FUD (google that) about micro-chipping.
Stop hijacking animal welfare issues with other (equally important, I might add) agendas; that is very ill-mannered & crass behaviour.
One issue does not need to preclude the other, ALL creatures are important, ALL cruelty is equally despicable, be it on humans or animals.
