Cattle farmers in Region Six are appealing to the relevant authorities for help after persons hacked several of their animals.
Some farmers, who were forced to move their cattle to higher ground due to flooding, reported that several of their animals are nursing life-threatening injuries allegedly inflicted by other farmers.
Agriculture Minister, Zulfikar Mustapha has since condemned the acts and urged persons to desist from harming the animals.
The Minister said the Guyana Livestock Development Authority (GLDA) and the Regional Agricultural Coordinator are working with farmers to determine the reason behind the heinous attacks and resolve any conflicts that exist amicably.
