THOSE TASTY AND BUDGET FRIENDLY FROZEN TILAPIA PACKS WE ALL GET AT WALMART are the perfect grocery item, it seems. Fish is good for you, and the price is right. However, most people probably do not realize that part of the good deal involves workers at Chinese fish farms feeding processed executed prisoners to the hungry animals.
According to Emily Watson of Human Rights United --"We are used to prisoners being fed cheap food, but what this amounts to is feeding prisoners to the food to make the food cheap. I certainly won't be eating any; I don't care how good of a deal of it."
The Chinese Minister of Agriculture, Wang Xau Bong, was defensive about what he sees as a legitimate and perfectly safe practice: "Please understand, these are very bad people who get fed to fish. They murder, they rape, they so bad people, they poke you in the eye with knife and laugh at you!"
Several reports were not satisfied with Bong's explanation, as he also defended the feeding of executed Falung Gong members and rebellious Tibetans to Tilapia. "Do you not understand Falung Gong is bad? Very bad! Falung Gong deserve to be fish food
--they brain wash young Chinese, want everyone to sit around, mumble all day and no work. They very bad! And wild men from Tibet, they stinky savages, what good are they? Probably Tilapia no want to eat them anyway, they probably no taste good."
One female reporter who pressed the human rights angle on this story was particularly irked at an unabashed come on from Bong: "You beautiful lady. You so hot, I bring you eggroll! You be my girlfriend? I take you to China!"
Bong finally left the press conference due the hostility of Western reporters, shouting "What paper you wit?. I have Chinese student hack your website. I pay you back. Feed you to fish too!"
