Is This The End Of The Road For Elephants in Botswana ??

I do not know how to put this in any other way.

I only see Bad Times and More Bad Times for Kalahari Bush Elephants in Botswana.

The Government of Botswana along with The Parliament of Botswana has opened the Proverbial Can of Worms by making positive gestures as far as lifting the hunting ban on Elephants in Botswana is concerned.

Do They not know that by permitting Big Game Hunters to enter Botswana and kill as many Elephants as they like in the near future -- they are seriously endangering the Herds in Botswana specially the Matriarch Elephants who as we all know are an Excellent Repository of Knowledge and Information.

What will be the Plight of the Herds when the Matriarchs are murdered in cold blood by these Hunters ??

Botswana till now had Africa's Single Largest Population of Iconic Bush Elephants. They used to number more than 130,000 as far as the last Elephant Census.

Additionally, The Doors will be open now for Organized Elephant Poachers to come and slaughter Elephants on an Industrial Scale as was witnessed in Tanzania a few years back.

Is It not Possible For Botswana to Foster Responsible Elephant Tourism at all their Elephant Sanctuaries as it was being done till recently.

It seems to me that Bush Elephants are fairly safe and secure in only countries such as Kenya, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

It is a Pity that these Elephants have no one to protect them at all in Botswana.

I am gutted and gutted that nothing is being done to stop Botswana from Self Destructing.

It is destroying its Wildlife Tourism Industry which was built up with so much care by Ex President Ian Khama.

Big Game Hunters will now unashamedly pose with Dead Elephants who they have shot dead leaving Orphans in its wake.
