    Snatched from their mothers and sent to the zoo. A cruel fate for 35 baby elephants who flew from Zimbabwe, their natural habitat, to China to become tourist attractions.





    A cruelty that is denounced by The Times which speaks of these elephants as beings 'bewildered, exhausted and submissive'. An operation that is repeated cyclically and which is justified by the overcrowding of pachyderms. But what is the fault of these little elephants?

    They lived free in Hwange National Park and will now be locked up in a zoo, without their mothers, after a grueling journey.

    The elephants are just two years old and they will be flown in large structures, they will travel 7 thousand miles and they will never see their home again. But rather than overcrowding, here we should talk about business. Wildlife from Zimbabwe is regularly sold to Asia and the Middle East to pay off government debts.

    The methods of capture are chilling: the elephants are separated from their mothers and loaded onto trucks. To make them move away and scatter, the helicopters fly very low to create panic. Thus the little pachyderms end up isolated from the herd. Then a travel place awaits them towards a life of suffering.

    Zimbabwe, in addition to overcrowding, justifies these terrible operations with the bankruptcy situation of the state coffers. But can animals always pay the consequences? Let us remember that pachyderms, by their nature, up to the age of five, are totally dependent on mothers, yet the data are not encouraging.

    Since 2012, around 100 elephants have been sold to Chinese zoos and safari parks, where circus shows with animals are also organized.
