A video has gone viral of a starving mob in the town of Palmarito, Venezuela stoning a cow to death for food:

This is reportedly happening at other ranches around Venezuela as well:

When the animal finally falls to the ground in the footage, more villagers gather around – presumably to begin the distribution of its meat.  According to local media, dozens of cows were killed by the crowds at several different ranches. https://t.co/ualHVRRjj0
