  1. This is a very serious concern for our food security. They have made it very expensive to grow food in St Kitts/Nevis. There is no alternative but to have a an electrified chain link fence. Even your gate has to be electrified. I saw them at the “zoo” here and they are fun to look at but an imported species should be sterilized (not saying that’s where they came from though). We need to get on top of this right away!! These things are terrible, and extremely smart. Start trapping, shooting, sterilizing them right away. Oh, and please hurry up before the tourists fall in love with them. Please, get on this RIGHT AWAY.

    • I hear you and especially the “tourist loving part!” However, I agree but not to kill them. We can find some sought of humane solution to reduce/decrease their population. I hope the relevant authorities will take quick action and the general public will assist and not harbor them as pets. Food cost will definitely soar high if this is not controlled.

    • Andre, the Dick’s Greeter! S’him learnt s’him trade in America by working for Dick’s Sporting Goods. S’him only duty was to greet customers at the entrance and say, WELCOME TO DICK’S!
      S’him has since retired and is now using s’him only skill and this is to greet the ABLP Memhers. The only thing is, Andre cannot say anything, just like Smh, yeah you @Smh with the same bullshit every day.
      So, Smh just at WELGOME TO DICKS, your now entering the Hallowed Halls of Labour!

    • For a “well accomplished” businessman you sure do spend hours and hours of the day right here on ANR commenting on 8/10 post and mentioning the name Gaston Browne at least 50 times per day. What a sad fella you are. I’ll keep praying for you because you really do need it.

      • Don’t prayer for me @ Ah Gaston Browne Fault -, my family and dear friends already do so.

        I suggest you pray for better governance and a new leader and beginning for Antigua & Barbuda, after the awful 40 years of Birdism and Browneism, you Simpleton.

        • Oh so you have family and friends. Well that’s good to know. And here I thought you do not exist outside Antigua News Room. Now do us all a favor go spend time with your family and friends and ease off the comments here. It’s will do your fragile mental health a world of wonders.
