Jamaica's Gangsters Trading Goats for Guns - The Firearm Blog
Over the years many things have been traded for guns: gold, jewels, furs, and of course drugs. Well now goats can be added to the list as criminals in Jamaica are trading stolen goats for guns.
Clarendon parish in Jamaica have been rocked by a spate of goat rustling. The problem has become so bad that local police have had to post ‘Larceny Goat Hotspots’ lists to warn residents and farmers to be on the lookout for would-be goat thieves.
While it’s pretty easy to laugh at the idea of goats being stolen to trade for guns, the problem is serious with the Jamaican goat gangsters swapping the goat meat for guns, motorcycles and other illegal items in neighbouring Haiti. Drugs for guns deals used to be the norm but it seems goats have now replaced ganja.
