Bruuma scraps plans for exotic cattle farms after disappoing trials


Ostriches were among the species the regime sought to introduce in the local diet.

The Bruuman Ministry of Agricolture has announced it will not move forward with plans to raise new animal species as cattle, after trial farms gave disappointing results. Ostriches and giant breeds of rabbits were among the species involved; foreign experts had warned about the inefficiency of this plan since its launch two years ago, but were unheard. A sister project to raise edible insects was technically sucessful, but culturally a failure since its product encountered mass rejection - eating bugs is associated with the dire famines that ravaged Bruuma in the late 50's. This project will be still moved forward, but the insects will be used to produce chicken and pig forage.

According to rumors, a high ranking official has been "removed from office", which depending on the sources could mean anything between been downgraded to been fed to the alligators.
