This horse was supposedly a show horse of a rare breed. I guess housing him in this zoo was not such a good idea after all. I just hope he didn’t suffer when they killed him, poor thing.

Horse... it’s what for dinner.

For added variety, rats, mice, cockroaches, etc... will provide a protein rich diet for the population.

Venezuela just didn't do Socialism right. Give them a chance - it'll work this time.

Look, Socialism has only failed in Russia, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Mongolia, Poland, East Germany, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, Albania, Bulgaria, Ethopia, Mozambique, Angola...

We will be the people to finally get it right!
