Cuba asks its mules to raise a hoof and be counted
The Associated Press
HAVANA -- Will all Cuban mules please stand up? Or at least raise a hoof
or two. The communist government says it is facing a major mule deficit
and has commissioned a census of the beasts of burden to determine how
bad the problem is.
How many mules are in Cuba is unknown - hence the need for the census.
But authorities tell the government news agency AIN that the island may
be facing a deficit of 8,000 in highlands areas alone.
The agency praised the animals as "very important for the transportation
of food in mountainous areas."
Officials will carry out the census between March 1 and 10.
