The Ministry of Home Affairs in its monthly report on the operations of its Stray Catching Units, stated that the Units impounded a total of two hundred and one (201) animals during the month of September, 2013.
Operations were conducted on the East Bank of Demerara and the Corentyne areas.
Of the four classes of animals impounded, fifty six (56) goats headed the list, followed by fifty-four (54) cows, forty-eight (48) sheep and forty-three (43) horses in that order.
The Ministry continues to appeal to cattle owners to ensure the safety of their animals against being involved in vehicular accidents.
Also, cattle owners are reminded to ensure that a calf six months old must be branded.
Further, persons are advised that everyone, who releases or attempts to release any stray taken for the purpose of being impounded, shall be liable to a fine of not less than ten thousand dollars and not more than twenty thousand dollars.
