‘They put bows on them’: Venezuelan plan to encourage rabbit-eating amid food shortages goes awry as people adopt them as pets

‘They put bows on them’: Venezuelan plan to encourage rabbit-eating amid food shortages goes awry as people adopt them as pets:
Mr Bernal blamed a "cultural problem," explaining to Tuesday's cabinet meeting: 

"A lot of people give names to rabbits, put on a bow, they take it to their house, they take the rabbit to sleep in their bed."
But, he insisted, Venezuelans must adjust their attitudes towards rabbits and see them "from the point of view of the economic war".
