Sadly, the people responsible for this cruelty are doing it again. Forty elephants- all under the age of six have been captured and taken from their mothers. They are being held in a secret area in the Hwange National Park.
Life for these poor captive young elephants will be anything but happy as they will be held in the same hideous quarantine facility in China where 24 of them were held last year. Their "homes" will be in tiny cages until space can be found for them in zoos. And this may mean years for some of them.
Once their new owner --Chimelong 'Safari Park' decides they should perform tricks in a circus auditorium, they will be joined by 8 lions, four giraffe, eight hyenas, and a number of antelopes who also will be forced to perform.
Some other animals captured in Zimbabwe -- those with large horns have been beheaded so they can be mounted and sold as trophies The unfortunate captured monkeys were being skinned and fed to the capture team. It seem Zimbabwe has little respect or compassion for its wild life.
