Moira to present programme on animals

Moira Delia (FF: well known for her love for animals and for her abhorration for all forms of animal cruelty - she makes no secret of this!) is currently producing and presenting the first ever programme shown on national television to go into detail on everything that has to do with animals' welfare. The programme 's main aim is to trigger more respect and appreciation towards all creatures.This half an hour programme will be full of information about pet animals, strays, and animals in the wild. It will be full of exclusive footage explaining particular cases where animals were involved, which we will investigate. Another popular feature will be experiences w(h)ere animals assist humans. All this will besides more interesting information and many, many more stories. The programme will also feature short 5-minute documentaries about the wild, showing the marvels of every animal's kingdom. Simple guides to homing a pet such as medications, training needed, facts and myths will be shown and in detail explained. Local and international NGO's, such as Greenpeace, Nature trust, Island Sanctuary and CAT Society will also feature in the programme. Thus television viewers will know more about these groups, their work and their achievements. We will definitely promote more fund raising activities which help stray animals and sanctuaries. All programmes will conclude with a short news bulletin related to the subject tackled. The programme will be aired on TVM every Tuesday at 5.30pm. If you would like to be part of our programme phone on mob. 9942-2829 or 7940-7051 or send an e-mail on mamamoira@hotmail.com or claire@zoo.com.mt for more information.

COMMENT: This looks like a very promising programme, particularly since Ms Delia is in charge of it. I suggest that you all tune in to this programme every Tuesday at 5.30 pm - not a very good time, for some. Probably, PBS are too busy ruining the viewing schedule of all those interested in local tv viewing to bother realising that this could be such a wonderful programme. Well, what can I say? I will certainly have it video-recorded and will watch it all!
