Officials from Alternattiva Demokratika met Parliamentary secretary for Animal welfare, Roderick Galdes, to present their proposals concerning animals and circuses.
Prof Arnold Cassola, AD Chairperson, said. “Alternattiva Demokratika is not only concerned about the basic rights and quality of life of all human beings. We are also very much concerned that animals are also treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. People who do not treat animals with respect are also more likely to treat fellow humans with contempt.”
Simon Galea, AD Spokesperson for Agriculture and Animal Welfare added, ‘AD’s consistent position against the use of wild and exotic animals in circuses confirms our commitment towards the welfare and well-being of all animals. Following our meeting with Hon. Galdes we appeal for other stakeholders to continue working towards the necessary amendments of the Animal Welfare Act.”
