Stop Kenya's President Mwai Kibaki from shipping 300 wild animals to Thailand Zoos

The Kenyan government plans to send hundreds of exotic and endangered animals to Thailand in a wildlife swap.

Kenya is to trade more than 300 animals — including elephants, hippos, lions and rhinos — with Thailand in exchange for a small number of Asian tigers and pachyderm training expertise. A Kenyan Wildlife Service official said the animals, from about 30 different species, are to be captured from national parks and wildlife reserves and sent to a safari park in northern Thailand starting next month.
