Watch | Nelson On Abattoir Problems In USVI

Both of the territory’s abattoirs are down, meaning livestock cannot be slaughtered at the facilities, and the Department of Agriculture is discouraging farmers from the “bush kill” practice, which D.O.A. Commissioner Nominee Positive Nelson said is illegal.

What are the solutions? WAPA needs to rectify water issues on St. Croix, and the St. Thomas facility, which Mr. Nelson said was severely damaged by Hurricanes Irma and Maria, needs to be fixed. Watch.
