Tanzania and Gabon Allowed The Mass Slaughter Of Elephants -- They Should Be Held Accountable

It is sad to say this but I am terribly angry.

Tanzania in East Africa at one point of time, boasted of more than 100,000 Iconic Bush Elephants. That was in 2007. Far East Funded Poacher Gangs orchestrated on an Industrial Scale An Epic Slaughter of Bush Elephants in Tanzania from 2009-2014.

As, a Result 70,000 Bush Elephants were slaughtered by Poachers within just 4-5 years.

Selous Game Reserve boasted of more than 15,000 Elephants in 2009. Now, It has less than 3,000 Elephants and is likely to lose all its Elephants by 2021.

Ditto is the Case in the Ruaha Ecosystem and Conservation Area in Tanzania which had at least 20,000 Elephants or more in 2009. Today, It has less than 10,000 and rapidly dimnishing with every passing year.

No One in Tanzania has been brought to Justice for these Unspeakable Crimes unleashed against Unsuspecting Bush Elephants whose only crime if at all it was a crime to have Ivory which was coveted by Far East Greedy Individuals.

This Slaughter had to have taken place with connivance at the Highest Level of Govt in Tanzania and Organized Elephant Poachers who were obviously conveniently greasing the Palms of Govt Officials.

All That Poachers get in Tanzania now if they are ever caught is a Slap On the Wrist and once they are out of Prison They are back to slaughtering elephants.

In Gabon in Central Africa, 25,000 Forest Elephants were slaughtered for their precious ivory between 2004-2013. This all happened in Minkebe National Park -- A Veritable Forest Elephant Paradise.

All That Poachers get For Slaughtering Iconic Forest Elephants is 3-4 Months in Prison at the most.

But, If You steal a Mobile Phone in Gabon and You get caught you get 5-10 Years in Prison.

When will the World wake up from its slumber when all the Bush Elephants and Forest Elephants have Gone ??

Tanzania and Gabon should be held accountable at the highest level for these Unspeakable Atrocities committed against Unsuspecting Elephants.
