Malta was aghast with anger once the story was released. Star was dead.
Somebody didn’t want this kind animal to live. This ‘somebody’ killed this hapless dog. He shot the poor animal, buried Star, whilst it was still alive...Only to be saved, albeit, surviving for a few days, as if to proof that not all humans are cruel beings. The greatest act of cruelty is KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS ANIMAL CRUELY goes on ALL YEAR ROUND and no occasional sensational news is going to eradicate it. In a country with so many unresolved murders - very cruel ones for the matter- why are we surprised that animal killers are out and about?
Mark Schembri released the above painting this week. It is a vivid depiction of pain. If you are sensitive, it may hit you as too vivid. Blood scares. I felt touched and affected by its crudeness, yet I like the honesty of the artist. This was a despicable act.
Well done, Mark. You touched us, once again.
