Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has introduced a Rabbit Plan that
encourages people to start eating rabbits rather than keep them as pets in
a bid to tackle the country's food shortages.
Venezuela has been ravaged by an ongoing economic crisis spurred by the
socialist policies of Maduro and his predecessor, the late former
President Hugo Chavez.
Low supplies of food and medicine are leaving millions of people starving
and desperate for medical treatment. A study published earlier this year
reported that roughly 75 percent of Venezuelans lost an average of 19
pounds in the last year due to food shortages, Fox News reported.
Appearing on state television, Maduro suggested people should start eating
rabbits as a less expensive alternative to other meat, the BBC reported.
For animal protein, which is such an important issue, a 'rabbit plan' has
been approved because rabbits also breed like rabbits, he said.
The plan was devised as a fight back against an alleged economic war waged
against the country by foreign governments, especially the U.S. and
President Donald Trump, NPR reported.
But the move to start consuming rabbits has run into a cultural problem,
according to Freddy Bernal, Venezuelas minister of urban agriculture, who
also appeared on the television program.
After Maduro gave rabbits to 15 communities as a pilot program to feed the
country, most people decided to keep the animals as pets.
When he came back, to his surprise he found people had put little bows on
their rabbits and were keeping them as pets, it was an early setback to
Plan Rabbit, Bernal said, according to the BBC, noting that most people
took them to bed.
There is a cultural problem, because we have been taught that the rabbit
is very nice. But seeing it from the point of view of the (economic) war,
one rabbit arrives and in two months we have a rabbit of two and a half
kilos, he added.
Bernal also said the government needs to begin a campaign in the media so
that the people understand that rabbits aren't pets but two and a half
kilos of meat.
The Rabbit Plan prompted stark condemnation from the opposition, which
called the program a bad joke and said Maduro believes the people are
stupid.

denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party has run out of gas.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for ending the disaster of the
Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.
ObamaCare is a total 100% failure and no lie that can be put forth by its
supporters can dispute that.
Obama jobs, the result of ObamaCare. 12-15 working hours a week at minimum
wage, no benefits and the primary revenue stream for ObamaCare. It can't
be funded with money people don't have, yet liberals lie about how great
it is.
Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
