This is what Communism does to a Country

One thing anyway:

Venezuela’s worsening food shortages had tragic consequences for a rare show horse last weekend, when a group of intruders broke into the zoo, pulled the black stallion from its cage, then slaughtered it for meat.

"Equality in poverty! In misery united!" :yeah:

Party pigs excluded, of course. Pigs are more equal than equal.

The situation of the plight of these people is currently being reported on in the UK news.

It wasn't just the horse.
Sadly, this horse wasn’t the first zoo animal to suffer the effects of Venezuela’s crippling food shortages. Some Vietnamese pigs and sheep were reportedly stolen from the same zoo earlier this month.


Meanwhile, larger animals are reportedly showing signs of emaciation as the zoo runs out of feed. Recently two tapirs died of malnourishment, and zookeepers have resorted to feeding hippos, elephants, and goats an unusual diet of locally grown mangoes and squash while they wait for food supplies to arrive.
