The Chavista "skim" continues. More cattle stolen by police and Chavista officials. Again



"They destroy us": Officials "subtracted seven animals from a gandola" in Guárico
The Cooperator

Caracas, February 26.- The president of Fedenaga, Carlos Odoardo Albornoz, denounced on Sunday that police officers established at the point known as "Los Flores", near San Juan de los Morros, in Guárico State, together with alleged officials of Funda Mercado " seven animals were taken from a gandola " that went to the slaughterhouse of Turmero, in the state of Aragua.

"It is really illogical to try to continue to harass the Venezuelan peasant," as it causes " a brutal damage to the supply of large centers of consumption, " he wrote through his Twitter account.

"Subtracting the work of 1,500 days of the working man is against nature in the current situation ," added Odoardo Albornoz, while refusing to continue "some public officials bent on destroying us. Our goal of continuing to produce and supply nothing and nobody will change it. It's a compromise".

Cattle is transported to local slaughterhouses from rural agricultural areas so that the meat can be sold at "guaranteed prices" to the public. However, the Chavista regime isn't content to stand in line with El Pueblo to get their meat. It is far easier to confiscate the cattle at the point of a gun at a roadblock and call it a "special tax"... not that the rancher gets reimbursed for any cattle that get pilfered. He eats the loss, unless he feels confident that he can name the police and officials that stole his cattle. In which case he ends up dead, his remaining cattle "nationalized" and his home burned to the ground.
