Dominican cattle ranchers in the rural areas of Dajabón province are happy with the new border fence. For years they have been suffering the theft of their cattle by groups of Haitian men that would cross the border at night (this has actually been going on at least since the mid-1800’s, it’s mentioned in several books from the era) and steal the cattle. Then they would cross them into Haiti, slaughter them and sell their meats in Haitian markets. The Dominican cattle ranchers say the theft of their cattle have basically come to a halt ever since the border fence was built.
