Three puppies were saved from a cruel death this morning thanks to a raid by the police and the Abandoned Animals Association at a former hospital at Tal-Ferħa, Għargħur.

Other dogs were not so lucky and a number of skeletons and dog body parts were found. The dogs had starved to death.

AAA’s Freddie Fenech said his association received an anonymous telephone call about the place. It checked it out and then alerted the police.

The three saved puppies are now being cared for by a volunteer. They will be vaccinated and flown to a new life in Germany.

Mr Fenech thanked the Naxxar police for their assistance.
