Il-Pets li kelli hadd qatt ma nvestigawhom minkejja l-akkuzi li kont nahqar u addirittura li noqtol l-annimali
The pets I had were never investigated by anyone, despite accusations that I used to maltreat and even kill animals
Cat A, on the left, was brought home from work in 2002. Cat B, in the middle, was also brought from work in 2003. Cat C, on the right, was found in Mosta around 2006. Cat B died in January 2015 while I was locked in the hospital in my 2nd second case. Cat C died on 24-April-09 - it became sick and could no longer stand. I took it to the vet, who managed to give it an injection, but unfortunately, it passed away before I could take it back for another treatment.
Cat C, Cat A and Cat B. I, the person everyone labeled as the 'Mosta animal killer,' mainly due to the unfounded accusations made by the police, was further stigmatized as 'mentally ill' from the very first case. As a result, any new accusations against me were easily believed. Ironically, this so-called animal hater let his pets sleep on his bed, eat from his plate, and took them out for fresh air whenever possible. In fact, my cats followed me outside, a sign of the strong bond between us - something that should have convinced the police even more of how much I truly loved animals. Yet, these were the so-called 'animal cruelty' photos they found on my laptop.
Cat B, Cat A and Cat C. They found my bed comfortable; it was all in vain making them a basket to sleep in.

The cats that remained in 2018, when I started going home for a few hours on leave, were Cat A and Cat D. Cat C had passed away back in 2009, while Cat B died in January 2015 after being locked in the hospital. Cat D was a cat I had found abandoned at Ta' Qali around September 2012, about a year and a half before my arrest.
Cat A and Cat D remained untouched at home, now forced to sleep in the basket in my absence, with no one daring to examine them. This alone is the greatest proof of my innocence and the character assassination the police committed against me. They falsely accused me of maltreating and killing animals, despite being not just unconvinced but fully aware that I had done nothing of the sort. They framed me. But for them, justice does not exist for such severe criminal acts. Instead, they launched a crusade against me, making it seem as if I had committed the worst crime imaginable.
There is a vast difference between collecting animals already dead on the roads—killed irresponsibly by others—and falsely twisting it into an accusation that I mistreated and killed them myself. It is like entering the underground remains of a church for historical research and being accused of violating tombs.
Worse still, they accused me as if I were someone who kidnaps, abuses, and kills children - yet I had three adopted children at home, and at no point did they consider investigating them or sending support groups. The entire situation is filled with irony and contradictions, reeking of a setup from kilometers away. This makes it painfully clear how thoroughly they framed me when they among others accused me of animal cruelty and killing, despite knowing full well that I was innocent.
This is a photo I took on 24-Oct-19, showing Cat D, Cat A, and, in the bottom right corner, a small part of my mother. Not many days would pass before death came knocking at the door.
On Friday, November 1, my nephew called me. He told me that when he went home to sleep the night before, my mother had informed him that Cat A was dying under the stairs. He then took the cat to Ta' Qali animal hospital at around 10:30 p.m.
By the time he phoned me, the expenses had already risen to €150. The vets asked if I wanted them to put Cat A to sleep or continue trying to save him. They had found water in his lungs, removed a substantial amount, and he was responding well. My nephew told them to continue trying.
The situation reminded me of my father, who had died in 2008 with the same symptoms. Mintoff had not succeeded in killing him in the 1980s, but his sisters had in 2008.
Cat A seemed happy as we were bringing him home, purring softly. However, I noticed something was wrong—he began urinating on himself. When I placed him on the ground, he could barely stand. I thought about taking him back to the hospital, but I feared they would just put him to sleep. Instead, I took him home.
This video shows Cat A on November 3, 2019, at around 1:22 p.m. I placed a picture of the Immaculate Conception behind him, the same kind that the Legion of Mary sometimes used to distribute when they visited patients at MW3A, hoping it would bring a miracle and save his life.
Inzertajt fit-3 ta' Novembru 2019 kont bil-leave ftit sieghat id-dar u htiegli mmur ghall-internet ghand ohti ghal xi siegha. Meta rritornajt lura nsib Qattus A fl-ahhar nifsijiet, kemm ilhaqt naddaftu ghax kien ghamel koko u poggejtu mill-gdid fuq il-bicca u gibt il-camera u bdejt nigbidlu l-video t'hawn fuq. L-anqas ghaddew 10 sekondi li ma jaghmilx l-ahhar movimenti u jmutli f'idejja jien u niffilmjah. Dik is-santa tal-Kuncizzjoni ma kinietx ghamlet miraklu salvatuli imma ghamlet miraklu mieghi xort'ohra ghax ilhaqtu fil-hin (immagina kieku meta wasalt lura m'ghand ohti sibtu diga mejjet kemm kien ikolli indima u rimors li ma kontx mieghu fl-ahhar hinijiet). Ukoll inzerta lejn Mejju 2019 kienet thasritli l-hard disc tal-laptop u meta saqsejt biex jirrangawili kienu talbuni fuq Eur400. Kont rajt xi videos fuq Youtube kif kien hemm minn irrangaha u nzertajt kif kont ghand ohti ftit qabel qed nghid bil-bicca lit-tifla taghha u qaltli li kellha xi turnaviti zghar biex niftah il-hard disc u selfitomli. Naghmel kif kont rajt fil-video tal-Youtube tkun inzertat il-Hard Disc wehlitilha l-head u nippruvaha u tigi tajba u jirnexxieli nara l-files, fejn fosthom salvajt ir-ritratti tal-qtates li kelli, cioe bhal qisu miraklu iehor ghax kont ghodni qtajt qisi mill-hard disc (ara dawn l-emails fejn kont qed nirrakkonta l-istorja lil wiehed minn dawk tal-Legion of Mary). Wara gie t-tifel t'ohti u bqajna sejrin bil-qattus ghand wiehed li jibbalzmahhom biex apparti li jservini ta' rikordju dejjiemi tieghu, ikun ukoll prova ohra tal-innocenza tieghi ghax kieku kont wiehed li nahqar l-annimali, il-Pulizija kienu l-ewwel haga li jaghmlu jikkonfiskawhomli, imma ma kienu ghamlu xejn minn dan, daqshekk ghamluli frame-up u assassinaw il-karattru tieghi gabuni li kont nahqar noqtol l-annimali minflok.
Qattus A lejn Gunju 2020 wara li kien lest mill-ibbalzmar. Ara wkoll din il-link rigward emails lil tal-Animal Welfare.
Jien ta' xi 12-il sena fl-1989 u missieri u ohti flimkien ma boton griewi ghad-dell tar-Rotunda. Illum il-knisja m'ghadix tidher u missieri miet fl-2008 xahar wara l-Vitorja.
