So, this would appear to be some our Earth's lowest-value creatures murdering some of our highest-value creatures.
Read 'When Elephants Weep' if y'all get the chance. Good fairly recent non-fiction book on animal behavior and personalities ... to at least Google and check a summary.
The socialist tyrant savage Mugabe needs to be removed harshly.

What else are they supposed to eat? Mugabe’s destroyed every other food supply.

mmm, tastes like chicken.
Maybe they are mistaken and it’s the Easter Bunnies being murdered for food? Murder and animals, an interesting new concept.
Does anyone know the truth when it comes to these wackos anymore?

Elephants are fairly common in Zimbabwe because they followed a relatively free market model of elephant management until recently.
Villages were given ownership of the local elephants, and sold hunting licenses for many thousands of dollars. The elephants were valued and protected by the villagers, who would not allow poaching, because it destroyed the villagers property for very little return.

Yet ANOTHER Jimma Carter “Bonus.”
Hey, Jimma, thanks a pantload for DESTROYING the Ian Smith government in what USED to be Rhodesia, turning it from the breadbasket of Africa into a place of starvation and making way for Robert “Zimbabwe is MINE” Mugabe and his elephant eating thugs.
Anybody else notice that the Dimocrats seem to adore DESPOTS?
Three guesses as to what that means for the U.S. and the last two don’t count!

How do you eat an elephant?

Humans have been eating elephants for thousands of years. Take the politics out of this. As the article says, they have more elephants that the carrying capacity of their habitat. I don’t see a problem.
Mugabe should be hanged from the first acacia tree, but not because he feeds his soldiers elephant meat instead of beef.

As a sometime Republican and a fan of Alabama's Crimson Tide, I find this unsettling.

Jimmy Carter’s Mugabe has worked out about as swell as giving Iran to the terrorists.
What a guy.

I’m very surprised they aren’t down to long pork yet.
Once the elephants and other wild game is gone, I wouldn’t want to be one of the lower tanking soldiers or a civilian anywhere near these guys.
