In the vibrant and bustling streets of Haiti, a heartwarming scene unfolds.

A little Haitian dog and a Haitian cat, seemingly oblivious to any perceived differences, frolic and play together in the rich, reddish-brown dirt.

Their playful interaction is a charming testament to the way animals can bridge divides that humans often can't.

Here is a beautiful sky view of Citadelle Laferrière, also so called Citadelle Henry Christophe, or simply the Citadel in English, a large mountaintop fortress in Northern Haiti, 3000 feet above sea level built in 1820.

Haiti's Citadelle is about 27 kilometers south of the city of Cap-Haïtien.

The Citadel was built during the early 19th century and is considered one of the largest fortresses in the Americas.

In terms of its height, the Citadelle Laferrière stands at approximately 3,000 feet (910 meters) above sea level. This imposing fortress was strategically positioned on the Bonnet a L'Eveque mountain, overlooking the city of Milot and the surrounding area.

The Citadelle was featured in Jason Derulo music video "COLORS" the Coca-Cola Anthem for the 2018 World Cup

Check out how some young American tourists are enjoying the view from atop the Citadelle in Haiti.

My father tells me when he was a small child growing up in Haiti, there was free breeding (elevage libre), which meant that all cattle, goats, sheep, and other animals were released freely in the fields to eat, drink, water and breed. And farmers used to make good money.

But not anymore... Free breeding is not allowed in Haiti anymore. not for a long time. Not since it was abolished by President Francois Duvalier back in 1962.

Do some research on the Law No V of the Francois DUVALIER Rural Code (1962) -- Francais: Loi No V du Code rural Francois DUVALIER (1962)

Funny, in 2022, an organization in Haiti stated that although abolished by the Rural Code of François Duvalier, free breeding is still practiced in certain regions of Haiti. Farm animals are running around and about doing whatever they please.

KREYOL

Papa-m di lè li te ti moun piti an Haiti, te genyen elvaj lib (élevage libre), ki vle di tout bèf, kabrit, mouton, ak lòt zannimo te lage lib nan savann yo andeyo pou yo manje, bwè dlo, fè pitit, e sa te rapòte payizan yo anpil lajan.

Papa-m di yonn nan prezidan ki vinn monte yo, mwen pa sonje ki prezidan, misye finn exije peyizan yo pou mete zanimo sa yo nan kòd... e dapre li menm, sa totalman kraze zafe elvaj an Haiti.

Kisa-w panse de sa?
