Elephant populations in Zimbabwe are being decimated by poachers & a gov't that refuses to implement accepted conservation practices. On July 4th, dozens of baby elephants who were kidnapped from their wild herds were sold and shipped to zoos in China. These babies will end up in deplorable conditions, tortured to perform tricks, & deprived of the social interaction with other elephants that they need to thrive. We are petitioning Pres. Obama on behalf of Social Compassion in Legislation & the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force to demand the end of these inhumane & shortsighted captures of wild baby elephants & allow for a wildlife census to be conducted by an international conservation NGO. Further, we ask Pres. Obama to withhold all financial aid to Zimbabwe until these demands are met.
