Making Waves for Wildlife: Lottoland's Commitment
🐢🌊 Meet Shacky, the resilient young loggerhead turtle whose tale is as heartwarming as it gets! We, at Lottoland, are bursting with pride to support the incredible efforts of the Wildlife Malta Rescue Team, especially in Shacky's journey.
Shacky's adventure began when he was discovered trapped in a white sandbag, gently floating in the waters of Sliema, Malta. At first glance, he appeared like any other turtle, but a closer inspection revealed a poignant story—his left front flipper was swollen, white, and had lost its skin, a clear sign of prolonged distress. 😢
Shacky after amputation, June 2023.
In June, Dr. Grupetta performed a life-changing amputation on Shacky. Despite the hurdles, Shacky exhibited an indomitable spirit, arriving at the Wildlife Centre with an appetite for life and a fierce determination to heal. Through daily treatment and an abundance of love, Shacky began to gain weight and now proudly tips the scales at about four kilos. His wound has fully healed, and he's adapted seamlessly to his new condition, moving and swimming with grace.
The most heartening part? We're anxiously anticipating the day when Shacky can return to the wild and embrace the life he truly deserves! 🌞🌊 Stay tuned for this enchanting comeback story that will surely warm your heart. 🐢💙 #ShackyStrong #WildlifeMalta #HopeForShacky
Shacky's tale serves as a poignant reminder that many Loggerhead turtles face the peril of being ensnared in sea debris, never to share their story like our brave Shacky. Wondering how you can make a difference? Here are a few tips:
- Take action by minimizing marine waste that could entangle or inadvertently harm sea turtles.
- Join coastal clean-up initiatives to preserve the beauty of our beaches and seas.
- Cut back on plastic consumption to safeguard sea turtles and other marine life from the perils of debris.
