Government warns livestock owners over stray animals

In a firm new push to address a long-running public safety hazard, Saint Lucia’s Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food Security has issued an urgent warning to all livestock owners across the island: bring stray and roaming animals under immediate control, or face strict legal consequences. The department’s announcement comes as officials commit to ramping up enforcement of longstanding animal control regulations that have failed to fully resolve the persistent issue of unconfined livestock.
