My wife has taught me that dead/dying blossoms need to be plucked off to allow new growth.

That shit could never happen here; aMEricans are too well informed to fall for that kind of political shenanigans
...plus, slavery was abolished with the passage of the 13th amendment

Fixed it for you.

...ok
so maybe there was a tad of sarcasm in that post.


but still...

Should not be long now, they're eating the zoo animals.......

Crisis hits Venezuela's main zoo, where 50 animals have died of malnutrition this year

Caracas, Venezuela – An emaciated lion whose skin hangs loosely because it hasn’t eaten in days. Elephants, bison and monkeys that have gone hungry because there is no food to feed them.

This is the dire situation at the zoos in Venezuela, where at least 50 animals have died in one zoo the past seven months because of problems related to malnutrition. The country is suffering from a massive food shortage that has left almost the entire country hungry – including its furry animals.

According to Marlene Sifontes, a member of the National Institute of Parks workers union, these are the worst days the Caricuao Zoo has seen in its nearly four decades of operation.

“Animals have gone 15 days without eating anything during some periods. We have registered the death of Vietnamese pigs, tapirs, rabbits, birds, peccaries and porcupines,” Sifontes told Fox News Latino.

One case two weeks ago astonished the community. A beloved dark horse that had been in exhibit for years was attacked in the middle of the night and quartered for meat. The next day staff members found just the head and the mutilated body.

“We imagine that people took it to eat it,” a zoo guide shrugged, when inquired by Fox News Latino.

A few visitors were strolling around the 630-acre zoo last week.

Anabel Conde, who was visiting with her family said she is appalled at the deterioration of the zoo’s facilities.

“We came in January and things have gotten worst,” she said. “We just saw some pigs fighting for the food people threw.”

Cloward and Piven spelled the plan out a long time ago, and our POTUS is eagerly pursuing the program, by executive order when the RINOs in Congress won't just roll over and give it to him.

Venezuela is just a little further down the road than we are.

If you are not prepared for at least a month without buying groceries, you are seriously deficient.

There is an interesting confluence of views spattered throughout this article.

• The government is crushing guns to remove them from the hands of criminals. ("Common sense legistlation")
• The guns that the criminals are using are obtained from the police.

Wouldn't the direct path be to fix the police? I know this seems shallow, but with Venezuela spiraling into hole their leaders have dug for them, would there be a truly effective method to lowering crime and reducing gang activity? Further, is the increase in drug cartels and gangs, the rise in crime and the deterioration of law, order, civility, social and industrial growth direct results of the spiraling economy or is there a more nuanced cause/causes?

('Cause nobody needs food.) At least he called it what it is.
:rolleyes:

Almost universal throughout the planet while people (the Eloi) dance to (or eat) salsa. The denial of the fact that it's never about guns, it's about CONTROL.

National mechanisms just prepping the people for their firmly peened chains so they can emulate North Korea.

The Venezuelan gun crushers will no doubt become another shining example for Komrade Clinton to cite in her quest to make America a safer place. In the meantime when the electrical grid collapses down there, those electrical goods are not going to be of much use are they?

Things are getting ugly in the socialist paradise.
 

Not too much longer now, the "masses" are restless and would probably welcome the "oppression" offered here at the US where our "down trodden" worry about obesity.

My only "regret" is this wasn't done to Chavez.

Sheesh, a guy can't even go a little offshore these days...

Our obese down trodden probably wouldn't take to the streets in the hundreds of thousands...at least not until their EBT cards quit working.
