here is a king size story for you to ponder,
it has been proven that feeding the green turtles ,the garbage they are fed daily by catamarans and other boats that actually hit them with their propellers.
possibly now would be the time to really look at what you are doing in barbados.putting up a front about caring about turtles .because the stupid tourist want to swim with them.or face the truth.

and further to that —-Adam Hanlon Interesting video. I really don’t like the behaviour here-of the turtles and the people feeding them. Whilst I am not against feeding per se, this seems like a very unnatural event.

Adam Hanlon Whilst I am glad you are feeding them with a better bait, you are still changing their behaviour by feeding and interacting with them so vigorously. It does not sit well with me, but then others may find it acceptable…

Adam Hanlon So are you a tour operator offering these feeding sessions? If so, the fact that others may well not behave as well as you do, doesn’t change the fact that you are altering these turtles behavior (arguably to their detriment) for your commercial benefit..

Adam Hanlon Once again, the fact that other people are doing it badly, and that they were seen historically as a food source, does not really excuse you exploiting them…I am all for interaction, and as I said above am not against feeding per se, but prefer to see interaction when the animal chooses it.

Adam Hanlon Well if you weren’t encouraging them to aggregate in big groups by feeding them (in order for you to make money from them), they would not be there in big groups for people to run through on jet skis. The fact that this is happening shows that the feeding is having a negative effect at some level.

Adam Hanlon How does that defend your behavior? Whilst you feed these animals, you are as guilty of chasing the dollar as anyone else? I don’t think that scale is an issue, you are either part of the problem or part of the solution?

turtle project allows Barbadian businesses to still feed and cause harm to
the turtles everyday . and yet hide behind saving the sea turtles.

Served them right. When a black person,especially a female goes missing, the same media is quick to use some of the following descriptions her as :-
Having broad shoulders. Thick lips .Broad mouth. A long head. Protruding forehead . Full breasted. Knock knees. Small eyes etc etc
It is interesting how minorities in Barbados close ranks around their own [interest].

Family of woman who went missing issues statement about her disappearance: "We are aware of the interest surrounding the details of Karen being found at 18.43 yesterday (Saturday 28th).
Once again we want to offer our sincere gratitude to all involved in the search for Karen.We want to clarify a number of points relating to the period she was missing and until she was found.
She confirmed that she left for a run on Friday 27th; she is unsure of the exact route that she took.
She spent the night disoriented and dehydrated in a cane field.
She had not been physically hurt.
Having found her way to a house in Moonshine, St. George, late on Saturday evening she was able to give the occupants (who were not known to her or her family) her husband’s phone number. The occupants recognised her from the Missing Person Flyers that had been widely distributed.
Her family were immediately contacted (18.32) and police were also informed of her location. They went directly to the location and the family was reunited.
She has been given medical attention and is resting.
She had not been in contact with anybody since going missing at 17.00 Friday 27th February.
We appreciate the overwhelming support and assistance from the Barbadian public, the Barbados Police Force, the Barbados Defence Force, the Roving Response team, the media and corporate Barbados during this difficult time."

And for that they must be commended . Some years ago, while in a bus approaching the Queens Park gate, a large crowd in the road impeded the progress of the bus. A woman, suffering from a bout of fits was lying in the road, and not one of those persons crowding the poor lady, offered a hand to help her. A Bridgetown merchant in his Austin Westminster pulled up and asked, “Has any one called an ambulance?”
Duhhhhhhh!!!!! No one had thought of doing such. Closing ranks or uniting in any way is foreign to us We are still in that “everyman brekking fer himself mode.”
Last week a mother in the Belle area was still lamenting the loss of her son, who disappeared in the Belle area and has apparently turned into a ganga tree, cause that what the police and soldiers found, thus closing the case.
Why does it happen Colonel Buggy? Is it because we have so many more Blacks than Whites?
Massa day ent done yet.

Sure ent – as a watchman, he should be armed to protect the property against intruders at that time of the night – not wait until the intruders are upon him. Hopefully he will be able to make to legal issue of it and be properly compensated.
What are the requirements to be a tutor/Language teacher at Pom Marine.
As a bajan I cannot see myself speaking the language like a local in a short time when the classes these days are so big.
I am sure when some children fail a subject you the teacher should ask yourself ” did I do everything to help my student succeed or did I fill the road with challenges to help with failure.
Check yuh self you may have a problem with caring about the children you teach
Dear BU:
When the political frenzy really begins….soon ….. I would suggest BU put the ‘regular columns’ by Jeff, Caswell, George, the Tourism-man, etc….. on hiatus. No one will be interested in their articles during that time and it will free-up more space for the yardfowls & hot-heads.
