Have you tried DHL or Fedex? This is an old reddit thread that deals with that subject and it could still be of use:

...or just try slapping a bio-hazard label on the box

There are reports that it's not working because people are just keeping the rabbits as pets instead of breeding and eating them.
Communism plus rabbits? All these years I had thought communism was just fundamentally flawed and that nothing could save it (other than capitalism). It never occurred to me they just needed rabbits!

Swine and rabbits, problem solved.

Both breed and multiply quickly, plenty of fat to offset the lean rabbit meat.

How's that socialism working out for ya'll?

Socialism. It starts with "oh, everybody should have free health care, it's a human right" and ends with killing Bun Bun.

On the other hand I've heard The Maduro Diet works great.

It should... It is similar to paleo. Both are low carb so you lose weight.

country runs out of paper and ink to print new passports

Locking the sheeple in:

[h=1]Venezuelans are told their expired passports will be valid for another two years after country runs out of paper and ink to print new ones[/h]
  • President Nicolás Maduro has signed an emergency decree to extend validity
  • There are chronic shortages of paper and ink at the national passport agency
  • At least a million Venezuelans have been witing months for new documents
  • The passport agency said back in March that a lack of ‘materials’ was to blame

The maduro diet is a lot different than the actual Maduro's diet, I would guess

So the crisis has apparently reached catastrophic levels?
 
Venezuela just defaulted, moving deeper into crisis

http://money.cnn.com/2017/11/14/news/economy/venezuela-debt-default-sp/index.html

Venezuela, a nation spiraling into a humanitarian crisis, has missed a debt payment. It could soon face grim consequences.

The South American country defaulted on its debt, according to a statement issued Monday night by S&P Global Ratings. The agency said the 30-day grace period had expired for a payment that was due in October.

A debt default risks setting off a dangerous series of events that could exacerbate Venezuela's food and medical shortages.

If enough holders of a particular bond demand full and immediate repayment, it can prompt investors across all Venezuelan bonds to demand the same thing. Since Venezuela doesn't have the money to pay all its bondholders right now, investors would then be entitled to seize the country's assets -- primarily barrels of oil -- outside its borders.

Venezuela has no other meaningful income other than the oil it sells abroad. The government, meanwhile, has failed for years to ship in enough food and medicine for its citizens. As a result, Venezuelans are waiting hours in line to buy food and dying in hospitals that lack basic resources.
If investors seize the country's oil shipments, the food and medical shortages would worsen quickly.

"Then it's pandemonium," says Fernando Freijedo, an analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit, a research firm. "The humanitarian crisis is already pretty dire ... it boggles the mind what could happen next."

It's not immediately clear what steps bondholders will take. Argentina went through a vaguely similar default, and its bondholders battled with the government for about 15 years until settling in 2016. Every case is different, though.

Venezuela and its state-run oil company, PDVSA, owe more than $60 billion just to bondholders. In total, the country owes far more: $196 billion, according to a paper published by the Harvard Law Roundtable and authored by lawyers Mark Walker and Richard Cooper.
Beyond bond payments, Venezuela owes money to China, Russia, oil service providers, U.S. airlines and many other entities. The nation's central bank only has $9.6 billion in reserves because it has slowly drained its bank account over the years to make payments.
The S&P default announcement Monday came after Venezuelan government officials met with bondholders in Caracas. The meeting was reportedly brief and offered no clarity on how the government plans to restructure its debt.

The Venezuelan government blames its debt woes -- and inability to pay -- on a longstanding "economic war" waged by the U.S. More recently, the Trump administration slapped financial sanctions on Venezuela and PDVSA, barring banks in the U.S. from trading or investing in any newly issued Venezuelan debt.

But experts say the socialist Venezuelan regime that has been in power since 1999 bears the brunt of the blame. It fixed -- or froze -- prices on everything from a cup of coffee to a tank of gas in an effort to make goods more affordable for the masses. For years, Venezuelan leaders also fixed the exchange rate for their currency, the bolivar.

Those moves were among the driving forces behind the food shortages. Farmers couldn't sell at low prices without going out of business because their cost of production was much higher. Importers also couldn't afford to ship in food, knowing they would have to sell at much lower prices than what they paid for at the port.

When food shortages grew worse, an illegal black market emerged where venders sold basic foods at vastly higher prices than the government's artificially low prices. Inflation soared, making the bolivar almost worthless.

One U.S. dollar currently buys more than 55,200 bolivars. At the beginning of the year, a dollar was worth about 3,200 bolivars, according to dolartoday.com, a website that tracks the unofficial rate that millions in Venezuela use to determine payments.

The International Monetary Fund predicts that inflation in Venezuela will hit 650% this year and 2,300% in 2018.

It looks like Maduro will be a shoe-in to win reelection in 2018:

Venezuela opposition banned from running in 2018 election

Venezuela's President, Nicolas Maduro, says the country's main opposition parties are banned from taking part in next year's presidential election.

He said only parties which took part in Sunday's mayoral polls would be able to contest the presidency.

Leaders from the Justice First, Popular Will and Democratic Action parties boycotted the vote because they said the electoral system was biased.

President Maduro insists the Venezuelan system is entirely trustworthy.

In a speech on Sunday, he said the opposition parties had "disappeared from the political map".
