Energy god faced the ire of fans for carelessly littering and allowing his dogs to roam untethered

The Energy God, known for his vibrant and energetic dancehall performances, whose real name is O’Neil Bryan, found himself in hot water after sharing a video on social media where he was seen surrounded by about six dogs unleashed in his neighbourhood. While he intended to showcase his love for animals and the joy they bring, many fans took to the comments section to express their disapproval and concern for the safety of both the dogs and the people around them. Some argued that such behavior could be reckless, especially in a public area.

The Elephant Man made things worse by tossing a plastic bottle he was holding onto the ground, annoying the fans.

The incident took place about a week ago, but Elephant Man choose to ignore his fans rather than address the issue. In Jamaica, the cost of a dog bite incident can vary significantly depending on the severity of the injury and whether the owner is held liable. A recent case resulted in $1.5 million in damages for a Rottweiler attack, including costs for plastic surgery. The Dogs (Liability for Attacks) Act, 2020 provides for fines from $500,000 to $3 million, and imprisonment from six months to 15 years for dog owners. 

In 2020 a law was passed in Jamaica (c) that the dog is fitted with a restraint (such as a secured leash attached to a collar or harness), or contained in a receptacle, that allows the movements of the dog to be kept under control and prevents the dog from biting or presenting a menace to any individual.

Littering in Jamaica is also illegal and can result in fines or even imprisonment. The National Solid Waste Management Act (NSWMA Act) outlines various offenses and penalties related to littering. Fines can range from $2,000 to $1,000,000 (JMD) or imprisonment of up to 6 months. The NSWMA Act allows for fines up to $10,000.00 per violation. 

Jamaica struggles with littering, especially on its beaches and in cities. Although there are campaigns to reduce illegal dumping and higher fines for violators, the problem continues to be a concern.

Plastic pollution is also a significant environmental issue stemming from the buildup of synthetic plastic products, which harm ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. It poses serious risks to biodiversity and climate change, and since most plastics do not biodegrade but instead turn into microplastics, they can remain in the environment for centuries.
