Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"That is not going to be something the police will be able to look at, it would fall more within the domain of health authority and perhaps maybe even BAHA and I know that DOE has a humane society that operates within Belize and I think they can all put their resources together and see what can be done to address those issues and I know for a fact while we do have these young people who may move around the city on these horses I think for the most part they do show a great degree of love towards these animals and so perhaps it can be that they do not have the means to properly cate for them and I think when we experience those circumstances then the wider society should see what they can do to assist these young men in caring for for their horses. Again I think if they have a pet I would still refer to a horse as a pet if it is that you can show care and empathy towards an animal that will also assist you in terms of your up bringing. I know I had a son and my son had a dog and he loved that dog so much that when that dog was knocked down and killed by a vehicle my son couldn't eat for over a week he was really and truly heartbroken because of that so I know for a fact that children do love animals so if you find a situation where they have pets and they care for them then I think we should help them to be able to care for more for the pet and keep the pet."
