Zimbabwe To Cull 200 Elephants To Feed Its Citizens Amid Drought

Zimbabwe is planning to cull up to 200 elephants to feed its citizens who are facing starvation due to a severe drought.

The country's environment ministry announced on Friday that it would begin culling elephants in Hwange National Park, the largest national park in Zimbabwe, as part of a plan to manage the country's elephant population and provide food for its people.

The drought has caused widespread crop failure in Zimbabwe, and many people are struggling to find food.

The government says that the culling will help to reduce the number of elephants, which have been destroying crops and competing with humans for food and water.

Animal rights groups have condemned the plan, saying that it is cruel and unnecessary.

They argue that there are other, more humane ways to manage the elephant population, such as contraception or relocation.
