This year’s Luna Park, like last year’s, will be held in none other than Ta’ Qali, the dumping site of noise and anything in between.
Last year, it was also held in Ta’ Qali Crafts Village between 27th May till 2nd July 2023. This year, it is starting this week, exactly on the 24th of May and will last for another two whole months until 14th July. Check out this map:
Who is in their right mind to approve a permit for all that racket right next to the petting farm? The Petting Farm is situated in the southern part of Ta’ Qali which “comprises of seven paddocks, hosting petting farm animals such as goats, sheep, a llama, a donkey, a pony and a horse.” There is also a rabbit zoo, an aviary, a duck and fish pond, hens and cocks. Unfortunately, I have seen some photos doing the round on Facebook of the neglected state of some of the animals, like the donkey, who looks quite elderly. Are they being seen by a veterinarian?
Animal lovers must boycott this Luna Park. This isn’t just about the noise but it’s also about the birds and the many elderly animals at the Petting Farm, who will live a living nightmare for two whole months.
This is not to be tolerated.
But who cares? After all it is all about the usual businesses where money always talks in a world which is all about the economy, money and power where animals do not contribute to this except those found on the generated-money plates in restaurants.
