The Bolivarian Government confiscates 45 bulls to give them to CLAP
Jan 18, 2018 4:47 pm

translated from Spanish

Cattlemen denounced the arbitrary seizure of 45 bulls that were to be transferred to the island of Margarita, by state security forces.

The irregular situation occurred in the town of Sarasa, in the Guárico state, when the Bolivarian government abused its authority and intimidated the transporter and confiscated the cattle.


Such PROUD THIEVES!

In the same way, it transpired that this confiscated meat is being taken to some cellars in Fondas to be distributed in the Clap boxes at prices that are not real.

translation: Chavismo located a trailer full of cattle being taken to pasture land, and because Chavistas must do what Chavistas must do, threatened the driver/rancher with prison (or a bullet) and confiscated the cattle to be distributed among the Chavista faithful... with the promise of reimbursement to the rancher at a later date... in worthless Bolivars. (The Bolivar "Fuerte" devalued ~5% overnight)
