Emergency rooms everywhere practice triage, prioritizing the most serious cases and placing trivial ones at the bottom of the list. Apparently, Castro-friendly news organizations such as Reuters practice triage in reverse, paying closest attention to trivial stories and neglecting the most serious ones.
Here’s another example of this journalistic malfeasance. Add it to the long list of such stories from Cuba. Awww, the U.S. is making it difficult for dogs to leave Cuba. And those dogs need to flee due to the island’s “economic crisis”, which is apparently the ONLY thing that is driving Cubans to flee from their island paradise.
Worst of all, the heartless immigration authorities in the U.S. feel that the stability of their nation is somehow threatened by these dogs. Aaaaarggghhh, those mean Americans . . . no wonder the whole world hates them.

When Bingo first stepped foot in the airport in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, after months of arrangements ahead of his departure from Cuba, he did what any grateful dog would do: He licked his owner’s face.
The 15-lb (6.8-kg), sandy-haired chihuahua with perky ears was among the lucky ones.
Cubans, pushed by the economic crisis, have left their home in record numbers over the past two years – and increasingly, many now want to bring their dogs and cats, too.
But like their owners, pets seeking to leave the island can face onerous regulations, expenses and logistical issues, said Nathalie Osorio, an animal rights activist who told Reuters she has helped facilitate travel for more than 150 pets.
“There was a lot of misunderstanding at the beginning about the procedures. It has been very cumbersome,” said Osorio, who helped Cuban migrant Karolina Vazquez reunite with her dogs Bingo and Sasha in the United States. “Many of the migrants still cannot come (back to Cuba) and so they rely on third parties to send them their pet.”
Maria Gloria Vidal, a specialist with Cuba’s National Center for Animal Sanitation, told Reuters that the practice is nonetheless booming.
Cuban authorities have issued over 2,000 export certificates for pets thus far in 2023, she said, more than twice as many certificates for the export of pets as the year before.
