When things go from bad to worst you can always eat flamingo!

We all know what happens when socialist style dictators or elected officials get their way and implement their programs that, in their mindset, are suppose to make everybody happy and prosperous.  Just look at some of our own American cities soon after the socialists take over:

The cities with populations over 200,000 ranked as the most dangerous are: (Data from the year 2014)

1. Detroit, MI - Mayor Mike Duggan - DEMOCRAT
2. Oakland, CA - Mayor Jean Quan - DEMOCRAT
3. Memphis, TN - Mayor A C Wharton - DEMOCRAT
4. St. Louis, MO - Mayor Francis G. Slay - DEMOCRAT
5. Cleveland, OH - Mayor Frank G. Jackson - DEMOCRAT
6. Baltimore, MD - Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake - DEMOCRAT
7. Milwaukee, WI - Mayor Tom Barrett - DEMOCRAT
8. Birmingham, AL - Mayor William A. Bell - DEMOCRAT
9. Newark, NJ - Mayor Ras Baraka - DEMOCRAT
10. Kansas City, MO - Mayor Sly James - Independent (but probably a DEMOCRAT)

I've never understood why the people (Democrats) running the show have not figured it out but they keep trying to make things better and no matter what they do things go from bad to worse.  Take a look at some of their housing shortly after they drive formerly thriving businesses out of town:

Much of this has been written about and talked about with little to no improvement over the years.  The one thing going for the people that run the show is they have a convincing gift of gab when it comes election time, I swear they could sell refrigerators and freezers to Eskimos without ever having to deliver one.  The one thing we haven't heard of very much after high crime areas and dilapidated housing; What do the people eat when the fat-cats running the show are eating filet mignon or stuffed haddock.  Well when things go from bad to worst you can always eat flamingo! ~ Norman E.

Venezuelans killing flamingos and anteaters to stave off hunger amid mounting food crisis

Venezuela’s food crisis has gotten so bad that people are apparently killing pink flamingos and other protected animals in order to stave off hunger.
While flamingo hunting is both illegal and uncommon in the South American nation, investigators from Zulia University in the northwestern Venezuelan city of Maracaibo have noted at least 20 cases of bird carcasses being discovered with their breasts and torsos removed.
And flamingos aren’t the only unusual animal to become a victim of Venezuela’s worsening food crisis. Remains of everything from dogs and cats to donkeys and even giant anteaters have been found in garbage bags at city dumps around the country.
“Sometimes we only find the animal’s heads, guts and legs. We used to see this very little in the past, but this practice is now out of control and on the rise,” Robert Linares, a Maracaibo waste disposal worker, told the Miami Herald. Linares added he recently found on the street the remains of a dog that had been skinned and dismembered.

The once-wealthy oil producing nation has fallen on hard times since Nicolás Maduro took power following the death of socialist leader Hugo Chávez in 2013. A drop in global oil prices has crippled the country’s economy and Venezuela has been plagued with the worst inflation rate in the world, close to 700 per cent last year, according to International Monetary Fund.
The collapse of the country’s economy has made it difficult to import basic goods such as food and medicine, created acute shortages and stirred deep-seated anger toward Maduro. A recent study conducted by three universities found that in 2015 87 percent of Venezuelans didn’t have enough money to buy sufficient food for their families.
The lack of food has even earned its own nickname: “The Maduro Diet.”
“We find these killings grotesque, but how can we be critical of someone who hunts a pigeon, a dog, a cat or any animal because he or she is hungry?” Doris Rubio, CEO of the Venezuela-based Animal Protection Association, said to the Herald. “People used to hunt lizards for sport. Now they do it out of necessity.”
