Africa Cruel Africa 1 - by @mamabaman
From 1998 the Robert Magabe ZANU-PF government of Zimbabwe started a massive land-grab program which led to most commercial farmers in Zimbabwe having their land taken away and given to government officials.
In most cases the wildlife on the ranches and farms was soon destroyed.
It was a joy to drive along the road from Beitbridge to West Nicholson on the Bulawayo road, or from Beitbridge to Masvingo on the Harare road. As you drove past these ranches you could often see a great variety of animals including different kinds of antelope, buffalo and giraffe. In my many travels in the 1990s and 2000s I even saw Cheetah, Leopard and Elephant.
Sadly most of the game is now gone.
This photo was taken on the Masvingo road near the Lion and Elephant Hotel soon after this ranch was taken over. We were driving past when we witnessed this scene. The Giraffe had been snared with wire and killed for meat. My son and mom look on.
I want the government to give livelihood rights to the animals, they have to take good care of them
Some animals have went out of extinction due to some nefarious activities and policies that are not helping the evolution of animals. I think it is time to have a rethink. Because after animal, what is next? Humans! We should be very scared. I hope those in charge make the necessary adjustments
This is a bad Policy, a policy that doesn't encourage wild life protection and if such thing continues it will affect wild life niche. This is cruel indeed
Keren..
Where are humanity? You kill animals everywhere
Its not good. There should be animal rights. Good post.

It is really disappointing that people dont care about other lives anymore, they have become so greedy i mean what they want is to benefit themselves only ,they dont care about what keeps on happening with the activities they do...i guess they are more changing into what is called masochist ...they dont have any right to live on this earth nor on anyone...it is really sad...
its a circle made by nature we can't blame any one.
