A REPEAT OF THE HEIFER PROJECT”.

DAIRY FARMERS DONATED & TRANSPORTED DAIRY HEIFERS THAT WERE ALREADY PREGNANT TO AFRICA.

IDEA: LET THEM CALVE, USE THE MILK FOR THE CHILDREN
... RE-INSEMINATE ( donated)-—Let the herd grow & keep breeding back for more milk, etc. In short order, bull calves would replace the AI.

The savages killed the heifers before they could calve. ATE THEM.

THE DAIRY FARMERS WHO CREATED THE PROGRAM & GAVE THE HEIFERS CANCELLED ALL FUTURE PLANS.

This has to be a parody. Please, let it be parody.

This “might” have been a believable story, except for the fact that the peoples of Limpopo, from the time of very ancient time, are known for their skill in raising cattle.

I would like to think this is from the Zambian equivalent of the Babylon Bee. But who knows?

Don’t worry: there were only 30 cows, but there are hundreds of gullible NFOs out there.

Braai is an Afrikaans word. I can’t believe how racist they can be.

The Zambian Observer seems to do a lot of satire.

As Winston Churchill might have said, “Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture.”

And the FACT that BRAAI is an AFRIKAANES word for what Americans call a BBQ, though a Braai is MUCH more than what our BBQs are like.

Stupid is as stupid does. Can’t be helped can’t be fixed. Such genetic midget mentality goes beyond bone deep to the marrow.

I’m probably not the only one that checked twice to see if this was written by the Babylon Bee.

Today’s challenge for satire writers is to come up with something that isn’t plausible even after scrutiny.

Some people just don’t want to come into the future , but we will still be guilted that went have to send money and food to help the poor starving Africans. Just wait till they kill or drive out the last White farmers in South Africa, then the bastards in charge of the murderous Blacks will demand money and food for their racist genocidal people.

“Satire. Not exclusive to us.”

I didn’t notice anything that labeled it as such.

And, just when you think it’s too stupid to be reality...it is.

>> I guess they don’t believe in delayed gratification.

THIS.

Hi-T, low impulse control, reduced inability to practice delayed gratification.

Now, if you were to suggest this has something to do with genetics, this would cost you a Nobel Prize. If you had one before you uttered those words.

For Westerners and probably even some African not near RSA, the article might sound "real", except that the people who have lived in the area of Limpopo, since the very ancient times, have always been know for their animal husbandry, especially cattle.

And the use if the word BRAAI is Africaanes and probably NOT a word that these people would use.
