The death sentence is looming again over Gozitan farmer Ġanni Attard’s sheep after he failed to comply with the requirement toregister them.

There is no reason whatsoever why this sentence by the Appeals Court should result in the culling of these beautiful animals.

I am sure that all animal lovers in Malta and Gozo would agree that a solution can be found, so that all the sheep may be tested and those declared not sick spared. I am sure the authorities could find a way.

When the previous culling took place there was an outcry. No one likes to see healthy, beautiful animals killed for no just reason at all.
