Crocs eat 'dog supper'


By Rasbert Turner, Portmore Star Writer[/b]

Dogs in Greater [/b]Portmore are in danger.[/b]
The danger, residents tell THE PORTMORE STAR, comes from their 'neighbours' living in a canal along West Henderson Boulevard in the community. These 'neighbours' are not people, however, but several large crocodiles that have been eating the canines and anything in sight.
"Dem nyam off nuff dog roun' ere an wen di place fulla wata; wi caan guh outside as di crocodile dem tek ova di place," remarked a resident.
As if taking charge of their turf, several of the reptiles were seen lurking in the canal water and at least two large ones crawled out menacingly to bask in the warm sun with mouths open wide.
"Ah suh dem dweet, man, every day an fi see ow close it deh to di school dem," one man said.
Cause for concern[/b]

According to the residents, the canal, which is located near to a basic and a primary school, is cause for concern. They also cite a bad stench emanating from the waterway. They claim the canal is also a breeding ground for mosquitoes and are calling on the authorities to address the problems, particularly with the recent outbreak of malaria in sections of Kingston and St. Catherine. The residents have made a large noose to catch the reptiles should they cross their path.
Jamaica Labour Party caretaker, Dr. Errol Williamson, said he is aware of the problem and is hoping that the authorities will heed the cry of the residents.

On the real tip, in Florida, I took my 2 1/2 year old nephew to play in the park and right next to the jungle gym was a "BEWARE OF ALLIGATORS" sign...

Htp

Remember being in JA as a kid on a trip round the lakes and what not... we got off at one point to hear the guide talk about something and catch a few drinks... there was a croc by the area we were standing by but no one was paying attention. I'd never seen one before and remember thinking it waslike a statue or somethingso I walked up to it and tried to touch it to see... I got two inches from that croc... it looked at me straight and must've thought, ''not today'' the thing whipped round and slipped back into the water and no one noticed, the guide saw but kept quiet.

For real I near enough touched the thing, put it on a, 'why didn't it eat me?' kind of level I got so close. Trust me when you're on tour out in JA or anywhere else you have to watch yourself cause the guides aren't always quick off the handle and its not as though they think twice to put up some kind of barrier and make certain places kiddy friendly.
