This is what happens when you mix socialist central planning, inflation and price controls: people killing dogs on the street to eat. Yikes!
Citizens in the “Socialist Paradise” of Venezuela are hunting down dogs, cats and pigeons for food. Due to a massive shortage of food and widespread starvation, Venezuelans are killing animals for food.
Other reports suggest that hungry Venezuelan soldiers are stealing goats to imbibe.
Reportedly, the economic crisis has created a “painful reality” that people are looting and killing cats, dogs and pigeons to ease their hunger. Venezuelans are also grabbing vegetables from the ground and trash to consume.
It was only a matter of time before this happened as shortages reach 70 percent. The Venezuelan government conceded that businesses, like food trucks, pharmacies and supermarkets, only had enough inventory for 15 days.
Here is an excerpt from the Pan Am Post report:
“Supermarket employees confirmed food does not arrive at the same rate as it did before, and that people’s inability to get enough is a daily struggle.
“Supermarkets are registered into a system in such a way that they are not permitted to sell Venezuelans food 15 days since their purchase of the same product. As a result, long food lines have formed all over the country, with many people reselling their share to earn an ‘extra income.'”
The situation is getting really bad in Venezuela. Do Sean Penn and gender studies students still claim Venezuela is a “socialist paradise”?
