Mawana Elephants Gunned Down

Nine Elephants, Including Pregnant Cows and Calves, Gunned Down in Thaka Valley

Tragic Slaughter in Zululand

It's confirmed at least nine of The MAWANA Elephants - Loziba free roaming elephants were gunned down, including four pregnant cows and calves.

The slaughter took place on Saturday 31st August on one of the farms in Thaka Valley, while the Elephants were grazing.The other elephants witnessed the slaughter from 900 meters away...

A Scene of Horror

The carcasses of mothers, with dead calf some distance away, also shows the calves tried to flee as small as they were. The pregnant Mothers, dead, with their unborn...Two Cruisers and a helicopter were involved. They removed the tails and ivory.

Some of the Mawana Elephants had been shot multiple times. One calf was shot through the ear.

Failure and Inaction

This is the result of, Global inaction, crucially, the Elephant NGOS and NPOs involved in this issue, and the land developers, the previous owners who were not assisted, all who failed to take well publicized dire warnings seriously.

Several investor platforms have used the elephants as part of their fundraising and land plans - Loziba, Rewilding Africa, Human Elephant Foundation.

But failed to mitigate conflict, assist communities, fix/erect fences on community farms, and provide protection to the Elephants...Diabolical.

The Aftermath

The surviving #elephants are severely traumatised and possibly some small calves might have escaped.

As so it begins.

End of the game...

Global Elephant Organizations raise Millions of Dollars each year.
