Maybe at last he is where he belongs.

If this picture is put up as a promotional poster to attract people to the circus, I am sure it will be a success. We all want to see them live together in a cage.

In reply to Gordon.

I, too, was surprised – to put it very mildly – at the Net News item featuring that nasty creature Silvio Zammit as a ‘circus promoter’.

I had hardly expected to be ‘informed’ about his ‘non-offensive’ sidelines. As if anybody cared about whether he had any at all!

This promoter of circuses and scams was last seen taking up the collection at St.Gregory’s Church in Sliema. He seems to have found Jesus in the same way Dalli found Joseph.

I was listening to Radio 101 news at midday yesterday and this story was the second item. Either someone in the Nationalist media is really stupid or Silvio Zammit still has strong connections there. Whatever the case, this is really worrying that they gave such prominence to an irrelevant story and a crook like Silvio.

And the angles they used for his story..’the circus owners care so much for the animals that they hired a local vet’. WOW! Maybe someone should have told him that it’s cheaper to do this than to have a vet on the payroll.

He basically tried to get himself some free promotion because the other circus got it the day before. The sorry thing is that all the media totally fell for him.

In reply to Bullivant. Also include their anti-Arriva campaign starting as soon as contract was awarded to them and not when they started operating in Malta in July 2011.

And then when you send a comment to the Times of Malta joining the dots as regards Silvio Zammit, John Dalli, snus, Swedish Match, it is not uploaded.

Likewise with the top search words on internet – as soon as the penny dropped and somebody realized that “daphne’ was among the most popular, the news item disappeared.

This is not the first time this has happened; in their hurry to upload some “stop the presses” news item, they do not realize that the puppet-master will not like it, but it will certainly be taken down later.

This is ambivalent, nay dishonest, reporting by the Times of Malta.

They only show us where they ‘lodge’ the animals and tell us that they are treated as pets but then they do not show us how they train them to perform and for how many hours they train them. It is still cruelty to animals – making them do something unnatural.

Perhaps one should get the animals to apply for bail so as not to remain behind bars.

It seems to have worked for some.
