Police in Regional Division #3 have impounded three donkeys which were removed from along the West Coast Demerara Public Road, according to Regional Commander Errol Watts, who has said they are being given proper care.
When contacted about the treatment of the animals, which are being kept at the Den Amstel Police Station’s animal pound, Watts explained that the police in Region Three received several complaints of the animals roaming along the roadway. As a result, ranks on Wednesday impounded the animals. Watts told this newspaper that the animals were found at Windsor Forest, creating a traffic hazard. They were also reportedly uprooting plants that were planted during an initiative led by the President.
“We were forced to act on the complaint as we are legally allowed to do,” he said before adding that the three unbranded donkeys were picked up and taken to the pound.
