I received this email this morning, I have highlighted in red the part that is truly amazing to me.
Hello everybody.
Today we invite you to investigate and read this first of our special two-part series of blogs on Elephant Management in Kruger National Park.
The first part is an 8 blog exposé on our website/blog written by our CEO, Ron Thomson.
Get to know the astounding facts about Kruger's culling era (1967-1994) and inform yourself about how responsible and practical wildlife managers determine the elephant carrying capacities of game reserve habitats; and what happens when important environmental indicators are misread.
Learn also how national park ecosystems collapse and biological diversities crash, when well-meaning wildlife management programmes are not followed through because of animal rightist anti-elephant- culling pressure.
The worse scenario of all is when government ministers and national park authorities cow-tow to animal rightist demands - and this is precisely what happened in South Africa during the early years of this millennium. It is time, the public - if it really loves our wildlife - comes to realise that animal rightists are not wildlife management experts, and they are not our wildlife's friend.
They are eco-racketeers who make hundreds of millions of US dollars out of every wildlife crisis that 'they' purposefully contrive with their propaganda. Their doctrine is pernicious. So be wise, make yourself properly informed, and don't accept everything that you read in the newspapers.
The author expresses his strong view that if a massive elephant population reduction exercise is not instituted in Kruger National Park very soon, it will be too late to save the once renowned biological diversity of this one-time great game reserve - which is racing towards its final and inevitable fate...that of becoming a desert.
In the second part of this series - also by Ron Thomson - the blogs will discuss the elephant management programme that is in operation in Kruger National Park today.
This is an untried experiment that is backed by IFAW (The International Fund for Animal 'Welfare" - which is not an animal “welfare” organisation at all. In reality, IFAW is the biggest animal 'rights' organisation in the world).
This elephant management programme openly repudiates, and replaces, the 'old fashioned' method of man-managed elephant population regulation - culling (because it was, supposedly, so cruel!!!) - with an idea that rests on the dubious belief that elephants can and will control their own numbers, 'naturally', if they are left alone to their own devices.
To work in any kind of dimension at all, the new elephant management plan for Kruger requires that all the elephants in the park be subjected to a massive starvation regime.
It seems to matter not at all to those who devised this diabolical plan, that all the other animals in the park are concomitantly subjected to similar levels of starvation, too. The facts, as they will be presented to you, will leave you aghast. It is incredible that any self-respecting scientist could ever support such a programme’s abject cruelty - let alone plan that it should happen, and it is unbelievable that he (they) so totally disregard the devastating effect it is having on the national park's biological diversity.
You are welcome to pass on all this information about the Kruger National Park to your friends and family. This subject is close to all our hearts.
