2,110 6:29 pm PDT, Apr 13 Gabriel Blanco Because I believe and I know that there are better and more effective, ethical and humane options... culling it is just a quick fix... I am totally against it, it is a brutal and barbaric crime! So wrong! after being murdered for ivory and fun, elephants made a comeback... they did what nature taught them to do best: survive! But they did such a good job that authorities now, need to kill them, murder them buy the hundreds... thousands... whole families of sensitive and intelligent creatures brutally killed. Babies screaming next to their mother's dead bodies... a bloody sight... a terrible mistake! Consider the options please: megaparks - megacorridors, so elephants can move around crossing different countries... officials in S. Africa know they have options, but as usual they choose the wrong ones: the fastest, cheapest... the most brutal! elephant culling it is wrong, it has to stop now! Let's give this amazing creatures the chance they deserved!

Stop the Culling of Elephants in South Africa

We are against the culling of elephants in South Africa’s national parks including Kruger National Park. We believe that there are more humane ways to control the elephant population, if needed, that would not be cruel to the elephants.

We ask that you do not approve SANPark's request to begin the culling of elephants and encourage them to look to more humane methods such us humanely moving the elephants to another location if the need arises.
