An American Safari Company, Cape to Cairo Safaris is carrying out organised hunting in Zimbabwe’s National Parks. Cape to Cairo Safaris, an American based company is advertizing an elephant hunt inside Hwange National Park. They claim to have 50 elephants on quota in the park for culling and they are offering their hunters the opportunity to harvest some of the larger tusk elephants. The host and head Professional Hunter is Willem van der Merwe. They say the proceeds will go to the Parks Board.
So much effort has been put in by different organisations to protect these animals from poachers. It’s so sad to find out that somebody is promoting the killing of protected animals for money. This safari company should be stopped from organising these hunts.
But how has the government allowed something like this to be happening?
