Mugabe's 'Noah's Ark' gift for North Korea

May 15, 2010 10:00 PM| By

Zimbabwe's president Robert Mugabe has ordered that two of every animal species in the Hwange National Park be sent to North Korea as a gift to that country's leader, Kim Jong Il.

FACING DEATH: Experts say young elephants are unlikely to survive without their families, especially in a strange environment :

Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force chairman Johnny Rodrigues said the animals had already been captured and were being kept in a boma in the park, waiting to be flown to North Korea.

Neither the Zimbabwean government, nor the Parks and Wildlife Management Authority of Zimbabwe, was willing to comment.

An official of the North Korean embassy in Harare, speaking on condition of anonymity, said he was not aware of the intended transfer of the animals.

"Maybe this is a private arrangement," he said. "All I know is that the laws in Korea on the transportation of wildlife are very strict."

According to Rodrigues, two elephants, aged 18 months, and other species had been captured.

The NK’s are just going to eat them.

Maybe they’ll return the favor and send mugabe a whole forest of tree bark.

Why not? Mugabe must genuinely feel that N. Korean regime is so inspirational. It gave him so many ideas about how you bring a dictatorship to a whole new level.
