Una estadounidense de 77 años fue víctima el pasado sábado del ataque de un caimán de dos metros y medio en una comunidad cerrada de la ciudad de Bradenton, en Florida, informa Fox 13.

Los testigos presenciales contaron que escucharon los gritos de la víctima y que, cuando ​​uno de los vecinos corrió a ayudarla, vio que un caimán había mordido a la septuagenaria.

El vecino comenzó a gritar y solo entonces el reptil soltó a la víctima y regresó al agua.

Al lugar acudieron miembros de la Comisión de Pesca y Vida Silvestre de Florida, policías, el jefe del departamento de bomberos y un equipo de ambulancia. Finalmente, el depredador fue capturado por un empleado de conservación estatal.

La mujer fue trasladada a un hospital, pero el lunes por la mañana todavía estaba bajo tratamiento, según CBS.

“Parece evidente que este caimán había sido alimentado y obviamente eso no es algo que recomendamos porque puede puede llevar a situaciones como esta”, comentó el jefe de los bomberos.

Agricultural Services Division Manager, Dr. Jamekal Andwele is calling on farmers to register with the Barbados Agricultural Development and Marketing Corporation(BADMC) in order to get the assistance that they may be in dire need of, especially during these harsher economic and drought times.

He was making the earnest plea recently when a timely donation was made to BADMC fromMassy Barbados to aid the former in executing itsCommunity Agricultural Response and Empowerment(CARE) Project.

we reach out to you in terms of what type of support you’re looking for

Dr Andwele noted that that project seeks to encourage the development of community gardens and backyard farming across the island, with the objective of promoting household food security and Massy Barbados’ Farm & Garden Shop was in alignment with these goals.

But he also encouraged the public to visit the BADMC’s website at www.badmc.org to sign up for the Farmers’ Empowerment and Enfranchisement Drive Programme too, which is aimed at reducing agricultural imports into the island.

Outlining the process for applying to both programmes, he explained:

“Once you fill out the forms, hit submit, those application forms come directly to the team here at the BADMC. We will record your data and then we reach out to you in terms of what type of support you’re looking for.

“Different farmers have different needs; some may be looking for inputs, some… just for some seeds or plant material. Some may be looking for just land cultivation, or looking for some baby chicks.”

Dr Andwele thanked Massy Barbados for the donation of a range of inputs and materials to the CARE Project, at the Division’s headquarters, at Fairy Valley, Christ Church.

Other persons in attendance were Massy’s Brand Manager, Janelle Fletcher; Technical Field Officer, Jason Craigg; Supervisor, Farm & Garden Shop, Darrio Cumberbatch and BADMC’s CEO (Ag), Frederick Inniss and Extension Officer, Davon Brome.

The BADMC was established by a legislative Act (Cap. 254) in 1993. Its mandate is to develop and support Barbadian crops, livestock, agricultural production and agro-processing.
