Dominican and Haitian cattle ranchers met yesterday in the Haitian municipality of Ferie to agree on policies aimed at preventing the theft of cattle and returning stolen cattle to their owners. Dajabon Cattle Ranchers Association president Pedro Jose Suero was at the meeting, as was Miguel Cruz from the Dominican embassy in Haiti. Listin Diario writes that although no concrete policies were agreed, there was willingness to cooperate, which they hope will avert tensions in the future. Listin explains that the 16 cows and 2 horses that were stolen weren't returned immediately, but Haitian officials assure that they are safe and are being held in quarantine. The meeting came days after mounting tensions were reported over armed cattle farmers crossing into Haiti. The farmers took 16 cows and 2 horses that they want to exchange for the nearly two dozen cattle that had been stolen and taken into Haiti just a few days earlier.
