BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - LOCAL FARMERS ARE tired of hearing the same thing over and over on praedial larceny.
Tempers flared as farmers and others involved in agriculture vented their frustration yesterday at their continuous losses from crop and animal theft and what they said was the inability of the police and the court to do anything about the problem.
“I am tired, sick, fed up,” dairy farmer Annette Beckett told the packed Flamboyant North room at the Lloyd Erskine Sandiford Centre. “Can’t tek nuh mo’ of these types of meetings.”
