UPDATE ON THE ELEPHANTS THAT WERE POISONED AT THEIR WATERING HOLE IN ZIMBABWE: SOUTH AFRICAN BUSINESSMAN BEHIND ELEPHANT POISONINGS: Zimbabwean police are bringing their investigations into the deaths of at least 64 elephants by cyanide poisoning in the Hwange National Park to an end. They have revealed that a South African businessman is behind the killings and that he has been active in cyanide poisoning since 2009. Police named him only as Ishmael and that he used a Chivu farmer and ivory buyer Farai Chitsa to distribute stocks of cyanide to local people in Pelandaba and Pumula areas of Tsholotsho. Chitsa was arrested when his truck became stuck in sands while collecting tusks from poachers. Two brothers – Sipho and Misheck Mafu - have also been arrested and have provided police and wildlife investigators with wide-ranging information. The technique of mixing cyanide, salt and water was so effective at killing elephants that when the poachers took police to the sites that had been contaminated, there were bodies of elephants with small tusks still intact because it wasn’t worth the effort to take the tusks. The poachers were being paid as little as $700 for 9 tusks. It was not just elephants that were killed by the cyanide but a wide range of other animals carcasses were found including buffalo, lions, vultures and jackals. The areas where the poison has been used have been declared an ecological disaster. Some local environmentalists are being reported in local media as saying that the impact of the poisoning will last a generation as the cyanide works its way into groundwater and is taken up by crops. Claims are being made that it will be a generation of people and animals impacted by this poisoning. WHAT THIS MAN DID WILL HAVE DEVESTATING CONSEQUENCES FOR THIS REGION OF ZIMBABWE. THEY FOUND THE PERSON WHO DID THIS BUT WHAT WILL ZIMBABWE DO NOW? I HOPE THE GOVERNMENT WILL START ENFORCING TOUGHER LAWS TO END THIS POACHING EPEDEMIC. YOU CAN READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE.
