"The plight of an injured dog has led to a confrontation between the Gozo SPCA and the Animal Welfare Directorate, sparked by a misunderstanding over its adoption.

The two organisations, however, agreed on one problematic issue: that Gozo should have its own animal welfare organisation because the directorate can barely cope with the issues in Malta, let alone handle cases on the sister island."

"They asked for an ambulance to be sent from Malta, only to be told that nobody was available and that the directorate “don’t do Gozo”.

When asked about this, Ms Chetcuti said the directorate had only one ambulance and sending it to Gozo meant all the rescues in Malta would have to be put on hold."
