A group of prisoners in the Venezuelan state of Carabobo was forced to kill a Rottweiler for food to fight off starvation, the human rights NGO Venezuelan Prisons Observatory (OVP) revealed on Sunday.
The Argentine outlet Infobae reported that family members of the inmates told OVP that their incarcerated relatives were forced to kill the canine as they were “dying from hunger,” receiving just bread and the occasional meal from prison authorities.
The incident took place at the El Libertador prison facility in Hombre Nuevo, Carabobo state. Family members expressed concern at the severity of the punishment they may receive for killing the dog.
“The people in the prison know that what they have is hunger and they punish them inhumanly,” one of the relatives told the prisoner observatory Una Ventana a La Libertad. “What they did with that animal is wrong but hunger is serious; especially if they have gone a long time without eating a full meal. Now they won’t even give them the rice that they distribute to everyone.”
Making matters worse was the fact that the pet belonged to the former prison director; the inmates referred to her as “princess.” As part of their punishment, the inmates are not allowed to receive food from their relatives outside.
This version of events was corroborated by several other relatives who spoke to Una Ventana a La Libertad.
“Here those who receive the food keep part of it for themselves,” one of the inmates’ fathers told the organization. “They do not deliver the complete packages. When it’s time to visit and we talk to our family member, we find out that there were things missing something. Meals and cakes are not delivered complete, they always grab a few slices.”

Talk about a Hot Dog - poor doggie. Not even a Rottweiler is not even safe in Venezuela.
US Democrats have seen this future. And they think it works.
You have to admit that commies have a way with words: El Libertador prison facility. Kinda like Affordable Health Care Act
My heart goes out to these people suffering and starving.
Venezuela’s economic model is what AOC and her cohorts in the Democratic party believe is best for the U.S.
The prison director should be grateful it was just his dog.
Our future ,comrades ,if Trump loses this fight
Hungry people will eat each other. It’s a fact.
Apparently our CIA was aware of the rigged voting machines that kept the left-wing dictators in power in Venezuela...and did nothing about it. Venezuela used to be a first world economy.
Our CIA is corrupt. Our State Department is corrupt. Our voting system is corrupt.
Yes, it could have just as easily been him.
Ah. The “Eating Pets” stage of communism.
It’s a man eat dog world we’re living in.
Dog makes a fine meal.
Warning to all US prison directors under the HarrisBiden regime ...
Dog makes a fine meal.

Rotweiler en croute. Very trendy.
There are no pets or zoo animals left in Venezuela
I want to send our prisoners there.
It sounds cheaper.
