Zimbabwe has a food shortage and the authorities have authorised the killing of elephants

Zimbabwe has a food shortage and the authorities have authorised the killing of elephants Generally, it’s all because of the drought. It has led to serious problems with food in this African country. And adult elephants in addition consume about 300 kg of leaves and grass per day, so that people and other animals are not left. But the main thing, of course - that’s a lot of meat at once - they plan to “mobilise women to dry the elephant meat, pack it and deliver it to communities that need protein“. Officially, 200 elephants will be slaughtered for meat for now, The Guardian writes. Zimbabwe is home to about 100,000 of them. So hungry, an elephant would be eaten. And they will do it.
