Boliviahas rejected an “ offensive ” donationof 100,000 chickens from Bill Gates , saying the billionaire philanthropist should apologize for not knowing that Bolivia already has enough poultry .
“ How can he cogitate we are live 500 years ago , in the middle of the jungle not knowing how to produce ? ” said César Cocaric , the area ’s government minister of growing , articulate about Gates ’ gift . “ Respectfully , he should stop talking about Bolivia and once he have intercourse more , rationalize to us . ”
Gatesannounced the chicken enterprisingness in the first place this month , writing that “ It ’s pretty clear to me that just about anyone who ’s living in extreme poverty is better off if they have chickens ” because they ’re cheap , a well investment , egg keep small fry healthy , and womanhood can trade them . The idea was to donate 100,000 Gallus gallus to high - poverty state . It ’s surely not the strangest of the tech billionaire ’s world - save ideas , consider he’sdrunk body of water made from poop .
Of course , this means the gift of the chickens saddles your country with a designation that is not exactly flattering , which might be particularly hard to eat up for a leftist , anti - imperialist government like Bolivia ’s .
The chickens specially could be seen as an insult since , according to a report from theBolivian Institute of Foreign Trade , the poultry industry ( include both eggs and chickens ) mature by 35 % from 2008 to 2014 . The parson has a point when he say the country does know how to produce . As Cocarico enounce , Bolivians “ do not need any talented chicks so as to live , we have dignity . ” You see that , Bill ?
