Rage and despair

[Patrick L]

I don't know anymore-having just read of 41 elephants that have been poisoned with cyanide in Hwange- whether to scream or cry!!

It is purely and simply absolute greed that sees to this-and primarily the greed of the predominantly Eastern swine who pay the locals doing the dirty work a couple of grand, so they can make a couple of million of the filthy lucre!

Bloody hell, man, -can we ever stop this??

You know, I have in the past few years made particular concerted effort to go out there and experience what is left of Africa's natural heritage, and to show this to my 11-year old daughter-because, I have realised that, deep down, I regretfully believe it will only get worse in the future.


I throw up my hands....

Until we get leglislation with real teeth this is not going to get any better. The far east condem people to death for smugling drugs, and no matter where you come from you break the law and get caught you pay the price.

We roll over and play dead because we do not want to upset diplomatic relations. What a load of....

[Hermine]

That is absolutely terrible!

The damage that people can do to make a quick buck...
