It is a serious crime, heartless and a growing concern.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Farmers invest a lot of time and money on seeds, tools, animal feed, water, and other things they need for their farms, additionally, they put in many hours of hard work to cultivate food and take care of their animals.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Therefore, it is unfair for someone to steal their crops or animals this causes loss of income, more expense to start over and demotivate anyone. This wrongdoing can also make it harder for them to take care of their farms and provide food for their families and other people.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Praedial larceny does not only affect farmers. It can also affect the whole country because when crops and animals are stolen, it a threat on Food Security especially when done on a wholesale basis, meaning primarily for exportation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">I believe that everyone has a part to play in helping to discourage \u201cPraedial larceny\u201d by stop purchasing from any unregistered farmers and vendors, report such activities to the Ministry of Agriculture or the Police and be a part of the solution and not contribute to the problem.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">We should respect our farmers and their properties.
