Wilful brutality against animals ... again!

fROM today's www.di-ve.com:

Thirteen animals have been stolen while another was brutally killed in a theft from the Animal Park at the Razzett tal-Hbiberija. The theft took place during the night between Sunday and Monday and was clearly a planned one, a spokesperson for Razzett tal-Hbiberija said. Three barn owls, two golden pheasants, four mountain goats and a baby, one Amazon parrot, one baby deer, one rabbit and one monkey were stolen. In all, the animals were worth around Lm1,000 (€2,329). (COMMENT: WHAT THE HELL DO WE F********* CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH THEY'RE WORTH????? THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!!!!!) The thieves also brutally killed a deer while committing the crime. The direct victims of the crime are the children who benefit from the therapy programmes making use of animal interaction, the spokesperson further said whilst highlighting the sadness of all the staff at Razzett tal-Hbiberija at such an act.

COMMENT: NO WAY: THE DIRECT VICTIMS OF THE CRIME ARE THE ANIMALS THEMSELVES!

ANYWAY: I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ORGANISATIONS SHOULD KEEP ANIMALS LOCKED UP UNATTENDED!

Good comment on how much the animals "were worth". You can't put a price on sentient animals. All animals are priceless, and to put a price on any animal is to treat him or her as an object.

And of course, I agree that the animals should not have been there in the first place.
