The only way to stop this trade is to stop buying exotic animals and financially supporting the exotic animal market. As long as there is demand, animals will continue to be captured, transported and exploited for profit.

Italian authorities have confiscated 377 live exotic animals bound for Malta at a Sicilian port over welfare and wildlife trade concerns.

Illegal trade in protected animals is “detrimental to the entire ecosystem and the legal market”, the Italian financial police said in a statement.

Officers found that 76 specimens belonged to species protected by the Washington Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, known as CITES.

Even though temperatures have dropped and the 1pm–4pm restrictions are no longer in place, the issue of horse-drawn carriages remains.

The problem is not only the heat. We do not believe animals should be used to pull carriages through our streets, regardless of the temperature.

Sign the petition and help us push for a future without horse-drawn carriages on Malta’s roads.

Let's see how this hunter will be charged for what he did, and let's see if politicians will finally admit that hunting is not a hobby, but a dangerous and outdated practice that should not exist.

A practice that puts animals, nature, ecosystems and humans at risk.

Hunting has no place in our society.

Animal Liberation Malta is one of the organisations that have endorsed the joint statement calling for MonteKristo Animal Park not to reopen.

Besides the legal aspects, we cannot accept that in this day and age, prisons that confine wild animals for human entertainment are still operating.

You have the power to make these places shut down by simply not buying a ticket. Don’t support these places. If you love animals and want to see them, you should want to see them free, not confined in these conditions.

Don’t encourage businesses to profit from the exploitation of animals.

17 groups also call for criminal proceedings and independent investigation

The restriction banning horse-drawn carriages from operating between 1pm and 4pm during the hottest hours has now ended.

But the heat is still unbearable, and horses are once again being left to work under the scorching sun. 🐴💔

We only need a few more signatures to reach 5,000. Please don’t forget to sign and share our petition. Every signature matters. 🙏 https://c.org/htr4VgkwF4

Horses experience heat just like we do. So why are karrozzini horses still being forced to work as if they are machines?

Oh my Malta!
Look at the terrible impression you’re giving to the tourists who come here.

Your traditions, your “we’ve always done it this way”, your lack of interest in ensuring the dignity and welfare of the animals who live on this island.. this is the result.

When people look with clarity, they don’t just see the spectacle and the grandeur, they see unnecessary cruelty and the living beings being forced to pay the price for your neverending greed.

Is this really the image of Malta you want to show the world?

sign the petition calling on the government to introduce electric carriages and give these horses back the dignity they deserve
