AFRICA BIG 5 ~ Tusker Cruelty

A caring right-thinking pal sends me news and links to Africa Big 5 and asks me to name and shame, which I do with grim satisfaction.

• Africland campaigns to stop this sort of disgrace and I pray that our joint efforts will bring 'Big 5' to some sort of justice. 
• Support Afric's website

• How does one mobilise to ram the message home to the likes of AB5?

• This family shot and killed this elephant as it was eating. See the food still in its mouth, surely an act of the utmost craven cowardice and laziness?

What possible fun can there be in shooting a rare species like elephants?" 

• Here is the link to the company that promotes this cruelty.

• And a disgraceful self-promo

• I suspect the following contact details are out-of-date: 

Bookings, call 011-27-82-339-9235 [they probably mean you to jam the switchboard]

And there to rub it in - as if they shouldn't be hiding their faces in shame - the smug family snap:

Gratifying response - I'm asked if I had seen Frikkie Du Toit Safari's: Stop hunting endangered animals for profit.

Melissa - Now it's that silly vain Ms Bachman, with her, “An incredible day hunting in South Africa! Stalked inside 60 yards on this beautiful male lion … what a hunt!”
