BRADENTON, Fla. — The Bradenton Police Department (BPD) said their Lieutenant Ramdath rescued a wounded osprey from the streets while on patrol.
BPD said Lt. Ramdath was near the 4700 block of Manatee Ave E. when he saw the animal in the middle of the road.
He blocked a lane to keep the bird safe until it could be taken for treatment by Matthews Wildlife Rescue.
Ospreys are part of Florida’s Imperiled Species Management Plan.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
