The manager of a terrapin farm near Pyongyang, North Korea was reportedly shot on the orders of dictator Kim Jong-un following a disappointing tour of the farm in May of this year.
The farm official was shot and killed on the orders of Kim following a tour of the facility in May, which left him furious at the number of terrapin deaths and the failure to breed freshwater lobsters, sources inside the country told the Daily NK, a website run by Koreans from both sides of the border and funded by NGOs who emphasize democracy and human rights.
The farm manager attempted to explain that the terrapins had died due to a lack of electricity, water and food for the terrapins. Regardless of the reasons behind the terrapin deaths, Kim apparently decided to set an example by executing the farm manager, according to another Daily NK source who corroborated the story.

And his carcass was fed to the turtles?
If only examples as such could be made here!
Kim Jung Un is obviously nuts. The only thing that keeps his country hanging on as the dictatorship is its status as a strategic pawn.
The epitome of the "at the pleasure of" employment concept.
I wonder if Kim Jong-un realizes that terrapins are turtles? It would be hard to breed lobsters at a turtle farm.
That's what they were trying to do ...turtle meat that tastes like lobster!
Apparently, having no food, water or electricity with which to raise animals is no excuse.
