We Can Still Help Them

According to the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, Hwange National Park visitors witnessed the capture of baby elephants by government helicopters and ground teams. Baby elephants were roped together after being separated from their mothers by firing shots above the herd. Thirty-four terrified baby elephants, seven lion cubs, and 10 rare sable antelope were rounded-up by Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority for possible sale to China.

Imagine the physical and emotional torment these babies will suffer confined, alone, and frightened on the long journey to China, likely by truck, sea freighter, and airplane via Mozambique and the United Arab Emirates. One baby elephant already died awaiting export, her limp carcass carved up to eat by her handlers. How many more deaths will follow? Baby elephants are fully dependent on their mother’s milk until at least five years of age, often pining and dying if they are separated prematurely.
