North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un has ruthlessly executed a 'defeatist' terrapin farm owner after reacting furiously to the farm on a tour in May.

Following the embarrassing tour, Kim reportedly lashed out at the owner, promising 'grave consequences' for not producing any lobsters.

According to Daily NK, the dictator was enraged by the farm not keeping the tanks clean and allowing several baby terrapins to die of starvation.

The leader visited the Taedonggang Terrapin Farm in May, where he was supposed to provide 'field guidance' to managers who were struggling to produce enough terrapins.

At the time of his visit, he issued a warning to managers, angered by their disrespect towards in his father in not having a room dedicated to teaching workers about his father's greatness.

His father, Kim Jong Il visited the same terrapin farm shortly after it was built in October 2011, where he described it as proof that there word 'impossible' is not found in the Korean vocabulary.

However, ominously for managers of the plant just outside Pyongyang, Kim discovered a number of problems at the farm.

His father wanted to provide the Korean people with 'tasty and nutritious terrapin'.

But during the young dictator's visit, he noted that the atmosphere was different to other locations where he has issued 'field guidance'.

He said: 'It is hard to understand that the farm visited by Kim Jong Il did not arrange even the room for the education in the revolutionary history and the employees who failed to bear deep in their minds his leadership exploits could hardly perform their role as masters in production.

'Everything goes well, people substantially benefit from the results of the implementation of the party policies and hurrah for the WPK and socialism are heard from the units which consider it as the main line to uphold and glorify the leadership exploits of the great leaders and the party but only sighs of defeatists come from those units which failed to do so and they may get bogged down even if all conditions are provided.'

In a scathing attack on the plant's managers, Kim said the party had sent freshwater lobsters to the facility more than two years ago in the expectation that they would be able to breed. The failure, according to the dictator, was due to incompetence.

He said he wanted the facility's control room updated so they could automatically monitor the water quality.

Instead, managers installed CCTV cameras so they could look at the growing terrapins.

According to a report on the North Korean news agency KCNA, Kim said the entire nation was working 'around the clock' in order to provide 'good presents' for the 70th anniversary of the founding of the party in October.

In a stern warning Kim asked what the staff and management of the terrapin farm could provide for the celebrations.

According to KCNA: 'Noting that if officials work the way those of the farm do, it is impossible to realize the desire of Kim Jong Il and they may bring such grave consequences as impairing the prestige of the party in the end, he called for turning the farm into the one from which people substantially benefit and a model unit in the nation's cultivation which introduces advanced breeding methods and technology into its operation.'

Last April, Kim ordered the execution of his 66-year-old Minister of Defence Hyon Young Choi, who fell asleep at a meeting where the dictator was the guest of honour. The general was taken away and shot with an anti-aircraft gun, obliterating his body.
