It sounds very retrogresive especially from government call.

If it's not drought and famine then it's floods, and to top it off we are now planning a major extinction of elephants.

This is a heartbreaking decision that reflects the severe challenges caused by climate change and drought in Zimbabwe.

Damn. This is a tragic situation, highlighting the complex challenges of balancing human survival with wildlife conservation. While feeding hungry communities is crucial, it raises ethical concerns about long-term environmental impacts and emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable solutions to climate-induced crises.

So shortsighted. Meat is not long term solution for feeding people and certainly not meat from an animal with an 80 year lifespan and sexual maturity in ages similar to people. To recover numbers will take years. And elephants pass on knowledge so there will be a dearth in learning for the next generations.

@lucinda_ramsay Absolutely. Culling elephants for short-term relief not only endangers a species with slow reproduction but also disrupts the transmission of essential knowledge within their social structures. It's atrocious

I do believe that there are other ways to deal with the problem rather than killing the animals to save others.

@rosebellendiritu I agree. Instead of resorting to culling, investing in sustainable farming techniques, drought-resistant crops, or humanitarian aid could address hunger while preserving biodiversity

this is just a temporary solution to such a big problem, it's disappointing seeing government making such a decision

Elephants are a keystone species crucial to ecosystem health, and their culling could have broader ecological impacts.

This is bad news. It's disheartening to see the government of Zimbabwe come up with temporary solutions that harm the ecosystem. They should be formulating sustainable solutions that don't involve killing the wildlife we are working so hard to protect.

@edwin_wangombe The challenge lies in finding a balance between addressing immediate human needs and protecting the environment.
