File: Zimbabwe's elephants were overcrowding national parks, encroaching into human settlements, destroying crops and posing a risk to human life.HARARE - Zimbabwe has sold nearly 100 elephants to China and Dubai for a total price of $2.7-million over six years, the country’s wildlife agency said on Wednesday, citing overpopulation.
The animals' natural habitat has been depleted by climate change, he added, while recurrent droughts have added to strain on the overburdened national parks, forcing the pachyderms to seek food and water further afield. According to the Zimbabwe Chronicle newspaper, 93 elephants were safely airlifted to parks in China and four to Dubai between 2012 and 2018, They were sold in a price range of between $13,500 and $41,500 each.
In china they gonna end up in the Menu and in Dubai they will be domesticated pets. These Animals are part of us Africa stop selling your soul.

Ahaaaa is this your strategy of growing the Zimbabwean economy? edmnangagwa that's the most cruel thing to the biodiversity of the African continent taking away endemic animals to foreign places subjecting them to cruelty of killing them for their parts to be made treasure
I dont buy the story here. There is no justifying selling African pride for those peanuts
amgmahlaba 'Africa isn't at the dinner table as guest but as a meal to China, Europe, the US and the Arabs. 'Prof Lumumba
Why!?
They will get killed there for their tusks
FFS.....leave our precious animals to live their lives in Africa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is black we can sell everything that we have just to please those ppl .... it’s sad 😢
When elephants are finished they will sell themselves to Chinese
Dnt say zimbabwe. Say zanu pf or zanu big wigs. C thw general zimbo wnt benefit
There is nothing wrong about selling them, its only tht its Zim who did it n the money wl b pocketed by the corrupt politicians. To sell is beta than killing them lyk they did in 1987
Daytime poaching.
African leaders love look East Policy simply because, unlike the West, Asian countries don't care about the welfare and wellbeing of people and animals.
Who gets the money....?
every other country must learn from ZIM... 'what not to do or How not to do!'
It's merely overpopulation in the Hwange National Park
Government officials in Zim all going to hell, go and get the country’s money from disGrace and hubby they sitting with it plus the current government some of them, maybe all what a sin the lord can see everything and Karma oohhh!!!
they must sell the country too

Wait... is it China and Dubai or China in Dubai... (china, Dubai)..😳
How can they sell the endangered species?to sell Elephant is like selling your favourite underwear,which is shame.
Poor and precious animals taken from their environment for the love of greed and gold (money).
There are game reserves in s.a that have purchased Zim elephants.maybe the quantity and destination may be an issue but it's not the first time they sell elephants. what's sad is the money will disappear into thin air
Chinese gonna eat those
This happens when you chase people who know what theyre doing away from the land
...you mean tusks ...?
Eh
They need the money I must say. How I’ll hate to see South Africa turning into another Zimbabwe. Eish it’s tough man!!
Now their selling elephants to balance the economy it's rough in zim tjo
Why don't they sell the Mugarbages instead ?
What the hell for? To be eaten? 😠😠😠
For what valid reason...
For what? To be tortured and killed? Great job at preserving nature but when you need a cash injection...
This is heartbreaking :( I wonder where the money from the sales will go. Even if it’s to the people who desperately need it (which I doubt), it feels like a sacred covenant is being broken. We’re writing karma cheques that the entire body of humans can’t cash :(
edmnangagwa What are you doing...?
Zimbabwe is a disgrace
