Zimbabwe lifted a ban on hunting buffalo with bows and arrows in an effort to boost tourism

"ZimParks has relaxed conditions relating to the hunting of buffaloes by allowing the use of specific bows and arrows as part of efforts to diversify options for professional hunters and boost revenue from the sport," the authority said in a statement.Zimbabwe has been at the center of several contentious high-profile hunting incidents. In 2015, the killing of Cecil the lion outside of a Zimbabwean national park sparked international outrage.

Emmanuel Fundira, president of the Safari Operators Association of Zimbabwe, said:"It is not a case of turning up and saying, 'Look I want to go on a buffalo hunt now.' They would need a special permit for that." Fundira added that the demand for bow and arrow hunting was driven by tourists.

🙆🙆🙆🙆 just that the Zimbabwean Buffalos know how to fight their own battles. Let them come😂😂😂🙌🙌

Unbelievable.Hunting for fun is beyond sick

Then they come a slaughter our lions like they did with cecil the lion. We don't want them

So the government, needs to raise money. And kill of its animals, and they can only pay with euro's and Chinese wand. The US dollar, is not as good as it used to be. So let the good times roll. And the killing begin. For a price that is. Enjoy

Sick

Sure. Because that calls every torturer of animals in reach

I’ll only go to Zimbabwe if they lift the ban on hunting the humans that hunt buffaloes with bows and arrows.

How very very sad...

Killing wild life to make money. Discussing!!!!!!

Disgusting

Once again humans sacrificing the environment for a quick buck. How can we put an end to this?

You mean “in an effort to kill tourists” 😂😂 hunting cape with a bow and arrow 😄better have explosive tips.

Again with these ban lifts? First Botswana with their elephants, now this?! Once again, we’ve stepped back in time. Animals are not here for our amusement, let alone to eat, so protect them! They deserve life as much as everything else does!

More Africans selling each other out for cash including their precious animals. I'm sure they're still selling each other off into various slavery's too. This is who Africans are. Sell outs with zero integrity.

Seems like hunting cows. Pathetic

Once upon a time, before social justice, Zimbabwe was a food exporter

Пора уже отменить запрет на отстрел мух и тараканов

I predict: A few tourists will die. Not an animal to mess with.

And its Trump's fault---NOT!!

Tourism by torture, what a vile world we live in.

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Yet again another prime example of selfish, self-centred, ignorant human beings. All These living creatures/animals are all innocent and just doing what they do to survive, so humans, BACK OFF before there is nothing left.

The fuck

it is one of their biggest industries....if done right it can be herd management....of course , and too bad too many poachers still, and mostly American and European trophy hunter criminal asswipes.....

Let them hunt with only a knife. Makes it more of a contest

When you can’t compete in the global marketplace, you exploit your natural resources. When the buffalo are all gone, wonder what comes next?

That same country that wants white people back

What’s the challenge

boo

That’s sad UNEnvironment

Sad. This is considered sport and a tourism getter instead of appealing to photo opportunities. Let's just let people come in a torture defenseless animals. I'd cut off aid to countries who do this.

No, Peta where art thou?

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

That’s a head scratcher.

Whats the real news happening in Africa right now ?unbiased world news covering CNN fill us mere minion like sheeple in on the real scoop, we can always rely on you for delivering the facts without agendas!!! lol

These animals don't die peaceful deaths in nature. When they dont get torn up by lions, hyenas and eaten alive by wild dogs and crocodiles they starve to death or die of infection due to injury. They still get torn up by vultures. Death by rifle or crosbow is considered peaceful

Joe Rogan

So, now they can decimate their population with guns. Lovely

Well...I read article. Maybe I haven't noticed but there was nothing about hunting with rifles being illegal...weird law tbh

Buffalo is basically wild cow, so must taste good

Wait, are tourist only willing to come if they will kill the animals? How desperate can we get in Africa? Invite a guest to destroy your heritage? Wow.

Unfortunately, it's illegal to mount hunter heads on the wall.

🤣🤣🤣with bows and arrows?

Looks like Maxine Waters cousin ree ree.

This is terrible!

Pack the bags kids! We’re going to Zimbabwe!

🤦‍♂️edmnangagwa

Oh the power of the almighty dollar...😔

Sad quite sad they hv to stoop so low for such a heinous act against animals just to attract murderers

Tell you what would make people go there - if you could shoot Mugabe's thugs for sport.

What buffalo ever did to them? What about, let's hold the event call Purge in populated cities and to help the charity by streaming live pay per view?

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

If CNN has 42 million followers then I'm a buffalo

Crazy people going there to hunt. Next step “Hungry Games”

Naah fuck Zimbabwe!

Pathetic. That's not going to make their devalued currency any strong

Noarm buffalo from humans

Silly.

Zimbabwe another country putting our planets glorious animals at risk 😡😡😡
