Mugabe orders cull of elephants to feed starving villagers — I was listening to a local talk sohow person moaning about no environmentalist group is bemoaning the now open slaughter of rare animals in Zimbabwe. Hmm, I wasn’t even aware of this. I have to listen to talk radio to get news? Geez.

I remember when I was a kid how all the politically correct of that era were bitching about the Rhodesian government and how much better everyone would be off without them. Now there is almost no coverage of Zimbabwe (former Rhodesia) and it’s crazy bloodthirsty government. After all, maybe someone would have to admit that things didn’t go so well.

So the governement policy is to rout the Whites and burn their farms. Kill any tourism. Rape the resources. Kill dissidents. And kill and eat the African animals until none are left. And we, in the West, will ignore all this and pretend it is not happening. After all, it might make one look like a “racist” if one were to be critical. What a joke.

Fresh from his disputed victory in Zimbabwe’s parliamentary elections, President Robert Mugabe has turned his sights on the country’s wildlife reserves in a bid to feed thousands of malnourished villagers.

Zimbabwe’s national parks have been ordered to work with rural district councils to begin the wholesale slaughter of big game. National park rangers said they had already shot 10 elephants in the past week. The meat was barbecued at festivities to mark 25 years of independence. Four of the animals were reportedly shot in view of tourists near Lake Kariba, the largest man-made lake in Africa and a major wildlife haven.

Five years after ordering white-owned farms to be confiscated, the Mugabe regime has turned a country once known as the breadbasket of Africa into a famished land. An estimated 4 million rural poor suffer from food shortages.
