The Bite of The Week That I could not Swallow



How is it possible for a container to fall off a ship at sea and the authorities just let it wash ashore without ensuring that it was properly secured? This container could have been packed with guns, drugs, or any other illegal items. It was reported that the container was packed with chicken.

Who will be held accountable for this uncustomed meat coming into Jamaica? 

If we were at war with another country, the enemy wouldn’t need to fire a single shot. All they’d have to do is toss some contaminated chickens in containers into the ocean, and by the time the containers make it to shore, the battle would be over. Jamaica has changed a lot. I grew up in Trelawny, where I was socialized not to nyamy nyamy, or likkie likkie. I could never eat those chicken - no sah!

The story of the chickens goes from being absurd to frightening. People are caught on camera taking uncustomed goods, which are subsequently consumed. The culprits made headlines and appeared smiling on TV. The TV presenters were also laughing along as if it was a big joke. Probably, the news was a comedy show. Is crime a joke in Jamaica?

  1. Jamaica is now being viewed abroad as a set of starving people who will eat anything.

  2. It is such a sad state that some of our people are so gullible. People must understand that whenever they see things like this happen, they must report to the relevant authorities before they can take anything. However; is this case it was not a case of first Come 🫴 first Serve. In this case, it is Cease and desist. We must know when to resist from talking on to ourselves impending danger. I hope that we will never do something like this again.

  3. I am very disappointed that our people saw a container with chickens, threw all care aside and decided to consume them. What if these chickens are loaded with bacterias? If those who consumed the chickens knowingly or unknowingly become ill can the health system manage their illnesses?
