Starving Venezuelan Prisoners Kill and Eat Prison Director’s Rottweiler
Breitbart ^ | 11/23/2020 | Ben Kew

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.”
