IN a move likely to appal conservationists the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF) and the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority have reportedly struck a deal that has resulted in the authority slaughtering elephants to feed soldiers at army barracks across the country.

such a sad day that this man made zimbabwean disaster is now affecting the elephant population.
Rhodie monstrous nonsense, again, again and again; absurdity in the dickens.
No attribution necessary: mano mano, henceforth.
Hollowjaw, all you ever do is come on here and say that the content of anyone who says anything against Mugabe is nonsense. Yet you have no argument to back up your comments. Its easy to simply come on here and say that peoples comments are nonsense. It takes an intelligent man to come on here and use logic and sensible argument to rebut another persons comments. But you never do it. You just come here and waste peoples time. It really is quite sad, and extremely childish. Nonsense here, nonsense there. No one even cares what you say anymore because you never have anything constructive to say.
And you always go and make yourself look even more stupid by signing if with some childish piece about where you are from. It really is pathetic.
have read somewhere that rampant poaching is going on and even animals like giraffes are being slaughtered (SIC)
At the end, like before, these zanupeople will eat eachother.
But before that , .... I understand that there are some land-grabbers from the island of UK still around .... [Talk of poetic justice..]
Well, last time I checked (that was a while back) cannibalism was NOT illegal in UK - and it was recognized as a source of needed sustenance by those cursed british sailors - and by whites stranded (or crashed) on wintry mountain ranges in the Americas.
Slaughtering elephants is clear example of Zanu PF's view of how our economy should run. Zanu Pf will never make this country prosperous KUNYEBA CHAIKO. Beef cattle in commercial farms was slaughtered willy nilly with no idea of how to re-stock. Now they are after wild animals with no due regard to the future of animals in Zimbabwe. Wild life has been part of our national heritage but with Zanu PF because of its ill concieved policies the country will be barren very soon. Zanu PF is indeed a disaster in Zimbabwe.

I dont think anyone would argue that you have lost you marbles jlaw.
It is a shame that such wonderful wild animals are slaughtered for food when cattle are so easy to breed!
Uyu anonzi jallohlaw anorwarao uyu. I am sure he or she is a mentally ill person people should not concern themselves to such nonsense. These are psychiatric cases vana vemahure zvavo ava.
I can say with total certainty, the Rhodesian SAS,pre Mugabe, ate three square meals a day, real food, not elephant....Geeez and the Zim's think this is a fighting force. They couldn't beat St Marys Girls Soccer team at anything
Texasbod cut the Rhodesian stuff out!. most of us real do not care about Rhodesia. Rhodesia is in the history books. The fight against Mugabe is not a fight to restore Ian Smith and his white savages. There are a lot of websites about Rhodesia and maybe that is where you should be going. A few spoiled minority white community that were once very prosperous does not mean that the whole country (99.5%) was wealth or even shared that wealth. Rhodesians are full of lies taught you by that Rhodesian system. You are full of trouble! You are free to go to Rhodesia, where ever it can be found. Please do not hijack this blog with the "old" white Rhodesia propaganda.
Spare the poor elephants. Let the soldiers eat one another instead. Isn't that the African way?
When the elephants are finished what will they eat?
Phiri, you are a hypocrite. It is alright for you to say unkind things about the British, and yet you castigate TexasBob for mentioning Rhodesia. Whether you like it or not, Rhodesia existed and mealie meal WAS plentiful and Ian Smith ran a fiscally sound country in spite of a world wide embargo. What is there to laud about Mugabe? Not only has he destroyed what Ian left him but he is just as racist and no liberator as he has turned against his own people - murdering and starving them. Mugabe is worse than Ian Smith because he doesn't care about his own African people. Millions have run away from him!
Would you rather slaughter and eat cows by the millions a day than eat elephant?
Would you rather eat snail (escargot) in France, dog in China, blood sausage in Europe, cat in Europe, kangaroo and horses in Australia, flying insects (cicada) in USA - than eat other game in Africa?
[Yet there are eating places in East Africa that cater to the tastes of Europeans in game animals ...]
Bernard Mpofu --- " .. IN a move likely to appal conservationists ..."
Let us guess: Those conservationists are NOT appalled by the death of Zimbabweans who are impoverished and starved by the white man's economic sanctions imposed by your whites in USA, UK and EU countries. Right?
They nust be among the treacherous foreigners that Zimbabwe can do without.
IDIOTS!
Mugabe would.
"Under Smith, whites ate steak while blacks ate sazda." Those are his words, and he seems to think denying blacks the right to slaughter and eat cows by the millions is one of the Rhodesians' crimes against his people.
But yet again, we see that under Mugabe, Mugabe eats steak, the "liberation heroes" eat sazda (and elephant), and the citizens of Zimbabwe eat dirt.

Like everything else that has been destroyed, cattle have been exhausted in Zimbabwe it seems. Those elephants were slaughtered not to feed hungry children but to feed undeserving greedy Zanu-pf monsters and if it continues, the elephants will be extinct as they are already an endangered specie. This is what you get for being greedy morons. You take the land for your selfish and greedy reasons when you do not know how to farm and know zilch about animal husbandry. With Mugabe's quest to continue destroying Zimbabwe, one by one every living creature will be consumed as the people will have no choice for lack of food. One thing for sure, Mugabe will see to it that his dogs the zanu-pf murderers are fed first before the rest of the nation otherwise who will do the hunting, jailing on trumped up charges, beating and killing of MDC supporters for him.
Actually Choker..........
I would rather eat snails in France, they are delicious. Dog in China is a traditional meal (more so in Korea). Blood sausage has it's merits - in Europe. I've never seen cat in Europe, but maybe it's so since you say it is. I've never had horse in Australia, but Kangaroo is delicious (and they're EVERYWHERE), I'm told you can still get horse in parts of France. Incects? I draw the line there...........
I've no problem with game, but I do have a problem with a country's slaughtering it's patrimony for sustanence. Snails, Dog, Cat, Kangaroo, et al are NOT close to being endangered!
For one to eat potentially endangered species is inexcuseable. To be forced to eat such game because of the malfeasance of a government is reprehensible!
It is precisely because of the incompetence of the present government (small G) of Zimbabwe under the guidance of ZANU-PF/Mugabe that the people of Zimbabwe will eat ANYTHING!
I hope after the Zimbabwean Army would have finished slaughtering the poor elephants they will turn to Jallohlaw for slaughtering as well.These elephants are more usefull than people like Jallohlaw.
