SA's proposed elephant strategy calls for commercialization & maximum commodification of elephants incl trophy hunting, live exports, culling, trade in body parts, incl ivory. A disaster in the making if allowed to proceed.

Greenwashing and Social Justice: Pro-Trophy Hunting Narratives Need Careful Examination
Safari Club International’s objective is to make Africa the “greatest hunting grounds in the world” for its elite members.
This at the expense of the rightful owners of those grounds, the indigenous communities.

Great news from Canada as Senate passes Bill to ban captivity of elephants & great apes, ban breeding & ban their use in performances.
Shameful that the UK won't take similar measures even as more & more elephants die in captivity. @BIAZA

Another rare super tusker killed by trophy hunters in TZ, hastening these unique & long-studied elephants' path to extinction.

Shameful that UK academics like @AmyDickman4 @AdamHartScience who call themselves conservationists support this extermination of earth's last great tuskers through their tacit silence & unwavering support of TH. When all these elephants are gone, history will judge you harshly.

Trophy hunting decimates near-extinct super tuskers on the Kenya-Tanzania border.
Shocking that UK academics like @AmyDickman4 & co don't see any problem in these killings of the last great tuskers.. seems they have no limits when it comes to supporting TH

RT if you want a WORLDWIDE ban on #trophyhunting.
African expert begs Britain to help stop 'colonial practice' of trophy hunting.

Enclosures Aren’t Big Enough for Elephants.
@IDAUSA hails end of elephant captivity at @OaklandZoo as its last elephant is moved to sanctuary. It's past time to end forever the cruel practice of imprisoning elephants in zoos, starting with solitary ones.
