We are sure you remember our crusade against the horrific trade in baby elephants from Zimbabwe to Chinese zoos.
Network for Animals has been a leader, fighting the trade for four years and, each year, our outrage grows at the terrible cruelty Zimbabwe authorities inflict on helpless baby elephants.
This situation is repulsive – each day that passes makes it more difficult to return the babies to the wild, yet the alternative is even worse; lives of hell in Chinese zoos.
We need to act now because we have learned Zimbabwe is planning to capture another 20 babies for export to China and elsewhere.
Our undercover team penetrated tight security in the Hwange National Park…
These babies are destined for Pakistan and are being held separately from the 35 babies previously caught and which are displaying increasingly aggressive behavior. Zimbabwe is treating these poor creatures as if they are mere objects without feelings or needs!
We have seldom seen such state-sponsored cruelty in the face of the certain knowledge provided by scientists that separating baby elephants from their mothers is the worst kind of cruelty for elephant families.
For the animals,
Brian and Gloria Davies (and Max and Flora!)
Founder and CEO
