Tens of thousand of wildlfe animals face annihilation from yet more politician thug crony land grabs in Zimbabwe. Now that all the white owned farms are gone, they are grabing from Bambi. One thousand square miles of it!
In Sunday newspaper advertisements, the Save Valley Conservation consortium said "greedy individuals" - including a provincial governor and a Cabinet minister - to wrongly claimed it was white dominated, so 25 land leases and hunting permits were reportedly issued to Mugabe's party cronies. The conservancy said Mr Mugabe is using color as "a racial tool" to collapse world-renowned conservation efforts for short-term political gain.
SAVE (pronounced Sa-veh in the local Ndebele language) is a habitat for elephant, zebra, giraffe, as well as the nation's second largest surviving population of endangered black rhinoceros. The area also supports an array of African antelope and most species of birds and small animals.
Several Western investors, the World Wildlife Fund and conservation groups in Europe and the United States have funded breeding and animal research programs in Save.
European Union officials in Zimbabwe have reportedly warned that the SAVE land takeovers put bilateral agreements on conservation between Zimbabwe and European countries ahead of the UN World Tourism Organisation summit scheduled in the northwestern Zimbabwean resort of Victoria Falls next year at risk.
Mugabe's democracy style (one man one vote, one time), has up to now destroyed what was previously a regional African bread basket and plunged his own people into abject poverty and misery. Now he is about to render defenseless animals homeless, and their future only holds wanton unchecked slaughter.
Don't allow the United Nations World Tourism Conference to be held in Zimbabwe.
Since we can't sue Bob on behalf of the animals, lets punish them by voting with our feet. Sign the petition and Walk Away with our tourist Euro's and Dollars.
Sign the petition to stop investment and tourism to Zimbabwe.
