Their drive was to civilize themselves and dominate the world. When it comes to Africa they want us consider animal rights over human rights.

Not to mention the havoc on crops. Just one elephant eats more than 149kgs per day. When a herd passes through your farm, that's the end of your agricultural career. And that happens even in my country Zambia. The West will never understand because they think Africa is one huge jungle meant for animals with humans encroaching on the animals land. And they think elephants have a lifetime supply of green food growing in abundance. The reality is that elephants are destructive, they uproot trees that took years to grow, leaving the terrain bare. Deforestation and desertification follow, and they move on to people's farms. The West would rather see elephants thrive than humans. A sad reality.

Not all Europeans. Poland doesn’t interfere in Africa or Asian governments.

The reason why our elephant population is out of control is because they migrate in large numbers from neighbouring countries where poaching is rife, to Botswana where 38% of the land is dedicated to wildlife conservation and therefore safer for animals. We are now having instances where elephants are found thousands of kilometers away from the areas where they were historically found. They are quickly outnumbering the area, which they have to share with orher species, and now moving towards areas occupied by humans, which are also limited as 80% of Botswana is covered by the Kgalagadi desert. We are doing our best, and if we could find a country to safely relocate excess numbers to, that would be an easy option.

20,000 elephants? To Germany? Now THAT'S a lot of scnitzel!

If they can help stop the war in Congo may they could negotiate with the Congolese government to take some of the elephant to Congo since Congo is a very large country. There are many other African countries who probably could take this as an opportunity to boost their wildlife for the tourism industry.

I do not know why we are framing 20 000 elephants being send to Germany as a bad thing. Europe has very few elephants as it is, it can do with 20 000 more elephants, plenty of zoos there charging a considerable amount for people to see a single elephant or 2. Everyone can actually benefit for this. The elephants get taken care of, the Botswana herds stay within environmentally friendly numbers and Europeans do not have to travel thousands of miles just to see elephants. Seems like diplomacy is the only thing lacking here, from both Europeans and Botswana.

Why lecturing them while they manage to keep a large number of elephants. Elephants are problematic if become to many

We in South Africa support the Botswana Government and its people. Conservation is very expensive so anything that can support that should be supported.

So germany bans hunting trophies in its country to disincentive the killing of endangers species and Botswana throws a fit because this could effect their bottom line...

Try making the elephants into a national security threat to the US. Problem solved. Ha ha.

Elephants have the right to live. Maybe the world should provide funds to Bostwana to more respectfully handle elephants and avoid preventative cullings. For example there should be areas where elephants get banned from going and special patrols should be made with proper vehicles that can inhibit and turn back elephants.

Elephants is what Germany needs right now for the rest of Germany's existence! Germany has started to abolish combustion engines. Germany also abolished the powerplants needed for electric cars. Only elephants can replace all the trucks and caterpillars etc. Give Germany all the elephants they need!

I don't really get why they are so upset about this. Presumably these rules only apply to "Trophies" being taken back to Germany... How many German elephant hunters can there be? Why is Botswana acting like it's an attack on them and their right to deal with elephants encroaching on human territory? I'd call their bluff and thank them for the elephants... sounds like a pretty big logistical challenge to follow through on this gift :)

germany is big enough to hold 20.000 elephants easy also has more green and water they will thrive send them over and Germany will turn it into a tourist attraction

Germans running to their bunkers!

Uhm. Picking a Fight ? Threatening ???? Germany has not even Responded to this yet. Which is not Surprising. 1. Germany is CONSIDERING to "Limit" not "Ban" Hunting Trophy Imports. This Generally means Germany is considering to put Regulations on the Import of Hunting Trophies like this. Which ensure that Hunting Trophies can only be Imported in a Sustainable Fashin and only from Countries which properly Manage their Wildlife Reserves. In all Likelihood. Botswana which has a Proven Track Record of Properly Managing its Wildlife Reserves and has a Growing Population of Elephants. Only allowing Hunting to Control the Elephant Population. Would never be Affected by this Law in the First Place. 2. Botswana likely does not have the Ressources to Send 20.000 Elephants anywhere to be Honest. 3. If Germany were to Ban Imports of Hunting Trophies. What Stops Germany from Banning Imports of Elephants and simply not allowing any Transports of Elephants to Enter the Country ? Whats Botswana gonna do ? Use its Navy to Stage an Invasion of Germany and Forcibly Unload the Elephants in Germany Ports after Capturing them ??? lol So Yeah.... Nice Story for Cheese Paper News. But really not more than that.

The logistics alone of shipping 20000 elephants would be a nightmare lol

Hannibal Barca is loudly clapping in the afterlife for his fellow Africans. 👏👏👏🐘

When animals are not properly controlled, they become problems not only Botswana but also in Australia, the US etc. Invite us Nigerians for some level of control. But bare it in mind that the elephants may become suddenly extinct.
