Elephants For Sale

Just last month, I had something here on MattChat about Botswana looking to reduce their elephant population via hunting:

I just came across a related article regarding elephants in Zimbabwe:

Zimbabwe plans to sell elephants to Angola and is prepared to ship wild animals to any other interested countries as the southern African nation seeks to reduce its elephant population due to growing conflict between people and wildlife.

“We have no predetermined market for elephant sales, we are open to everyone who wants our wildlife,” Tourism Minister Prisca Mupfumira said in an interview on the sidelines of a wildlife summit in Victoria Falls.

Such a majestic beast -- one that has always intrigued me.  Was always my favorite animal to see when we'd go to the circus as a kid.

Personally, I greatly prefer the sale/relocate solution.


Grace & Peace & Love to you all -
