Massive Crop Lost After Goats Attack

A farmer is lamenting his massive loss, not as a result of praedial larceny, but unwanted animals, who consistently stray onto his property. The struggling farmer tells CVM LIVE he has been grappling with the dilemma for years and despite repeated requests to the relevant authorities, his problem persists. 

A farmer in the Berkshire District in the vicinity of Spur Tree, Mandeville is pleading with the owners of animals, who are a constant nuisance to his daily life. He says the animals are left unattended and make regular trips to his home.
