Help Ġorġ get better this Christmas
It will be one tough Christmas for Ġorġ, a dog received by the Association for Abandoned Animals after he was shot.
A pet dog died last month, four days after having been shot with a shotgun in Magħtab.
Also in November, a spate of dog poisoning cases was reported in Gozo.
The association said the dog, which they named Ġorġ, was received by the shelter with a gaping wound in his back and other small wounds around his body.
An X-ray established that the dog was shot and had pellets all over his body.The vet could not even try to remove them.Ġorġ is now on medication and the association is asking the public to help donate towards his medical bills.“We cannot understand this trigger happy mentality and this cruelty that goes around daily,” the association said.
