The second jaguar which was captured by two Mainstay/Whyaka cousins will be housed in the Zoological Park in Georgetown. On Saturday, officials attached to the Environmental Protection Agency traveled to Mainstay with the intention of removing the jaguar from its place of captivity.
It was reported that the guy who caught the jaguar using a trap wasn’t too inclined on releasing the jaguar with any monetary compensation. His reluctance would have stemmed from the fact that he was promised a handsome monetary reward from a Caucasian man who since failed to deliver on his promise.
Chris Allen is responsible for catching the first Jaguar which was captured several weeks ago. On the second occasion however he was assisted by his cousin, Troy Fredricks. Both jaguars would be placed at the zoo.
Earlier this year residents of Mainstay/Whyaka, Lima Sands and Tapakuma, all hinterland areas on the Essequibo Coast had complained repeatedly of losing their livestock to the jaguars. Residents believe that there are still a reasonable set of jaguars in those areas. (Yannason Duncan)
