STOP Elephant Calves From Being Sold To China And Exploited For Entertainment!

Zimbabwe kidnapped nearly 200 baby elephants. Now the government is selling them to China to be used as entertainment. Each elephant is being sold for about $40,000 — a small price for the lives of some of the most caring sentient beings on the planet.
Last year, the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force reported that a number of baby elephants aged two and five years old had been abducted from Hwange National Park. Earlier this year, twenty-four were shipped to China to perform circus-like acts for the public; 170 more are currently waiting to join them.
As justification, Zimbabwean lawmakers claim the elephants are disturbing their neighbors, eating too much food, and are a threat to the economy. To rectify these apparently horrendous crimes, the government has decided to sell the elephant calves into slavery — to live out the rest of their lives as objects of entertainment.
This must stop.
