The Department of Agriculture continues to press down on the long-standing issue of stray animals along the main road network around the island.
The Animal Act, established in 2005 provides for the prevention of cruelty to animals, the seizure and impounding of stray animals, the proper control of animals, and related matters.
Agriculture Officer at the Livestock and Veterinary Division, Timothy Norville, said that while the department’s efforts to control the stray livestock continue, public adherence to the legislation put in place by the Government of Saint Lucia plays a major role in preventing an increase.
