Kruger National Park Plans Large-Scale Elephant Slaughter
Kruger National Park in South Africa has proposed killing 6,500 elephants to reduce the country's elephant population by half because it inaccurately claims that elephants pose a risk to biodiversity. Terrified elephants will be herded into groups with helicopters while gunmen on the ground and in the air open fire. Elephants are capable of communicating over long distances, and their death screams will be heard by other elephants who are more than a mile away. The fear, panic, and distress caused by these mass killing operations will cause the survivors to spend the remainder of their lives in fear every time they hear a helicopter.
South African officials currently view elephants not as remarkably intelligent individuals who form their own societies, share calf-rearing responsibilities, develop wisdom as they age, and express a range of emotions including joy and grief but rather as nuisances and commodities to be slaughtered, hacked up, skinned, canned, carved, and sold bit by bit. Orphaned calves, who are regarded as a mere byproduct, are left with lifelong emotional scars from witnessing the violent executions of their families. Hundreds of these traumatized infants have ended up in zoos and circuses around the world, where they are beaten, chained, confined, and isolated and die prematurely.

I am angry, dismayed and incredulous that the slaughter that was halted by public outrage 13 years ago over the massive fear and suffering inflicted during elephant "culls" is to be undertaken again by South Africa. These incredibly sensitive, intelligent

This is surreal. These magnificent, intelligent, sensitive creatures have every right to live! How arrogant, short-sighted, unimaginative, and heartless to create this "solution" to their successful population recovery. It's--shocking. It's beyond compreh

Finding creative solutions takes a little more work and imagination than killing and killing these majestic animals can not be morally justified, no matter how one spins it. Please do the right thing and do not disgrace yourselves.

On Judgement Day, when God counts as done to Himself/Herself what is done to the least of His brethren, I hope He/She appears in the form of an elephant.
