A German hunter has shot down one of the largest elephants ever known in Zimbabwe, reigniting the controversy over big game hunting sparked in this country by the death of the famous lion Cecil this summer at the hands of an American dentist. The elephant's tusks were so large, weighing 122 pounds (55 kilograms), that they dragged him along the ground when he walked," a member of the Zimbabwe Conservation Working Group, Johnny Rodrigues, told . Experts consider that the tusks of the elephant, killed on October 8 in a legal hunt, are among the largest ever seen in the region. The elephant, between 40 and 60 years old, was killed near the National Park in Zimbabwe during a "legal hunt" in which a German who was on safari participated, conservationists from the reserve in the southeast informed today. of the country and very close to South Africa.
The elephant died in the game reserve in Zimbabwe, meaning it was outside the national park and therefore hunting America Mobile Number List was legal, Rodrigues said. "We do not know if the elephant lived in the Kruger National Park (South Africa) or in Zimbabwe, but we can assure that the animal was in the safari area when it was killed," the conservationist assured . In the case of Cecil the lion, hunted outside Hwange National Park in northeastern Zimbabwe, the animal "was lured out of the park to be hunted." Now, there is no evidence that the same thing has happened with the elephant," Rodrigues clarified. The death of the lion Cecil opened the debate about legal hunting that is practiced in many African countries. The 13-year-old lion was lured with prey tied to a vehicle as bait to shoot it outside the park, so it was no longer technically illegal to hunt it. After the hunt of the famous lion, the Government of Zimbabwe banned large hunting, except for some reserves such as the southern area of the Hwange Nature Park. In the last three weeks, 40 elephants have been poisoned with cyanide around Hwange National Park and Lake Kariba.
American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) classified the outfits as “racist anti-Arab costumes.” The ADC president said that “the sale of merchandise that mocks Arabs, or any race or ethnicity, cannot be tolerated.” Sadly, these complaints have not stopped the production or popularity in the past of some costumes, such as, for example, that of the Arab with a dynamite belt tied to his belly. Free expression and bad taste The United States Constitution defends freedom of expression, so these types of costumes, no matter how insulting, will continue to be in shop windows and display cases, as long as they sell. In the commercial sphere it seems that there is no limit to the extremes that can be reached. While it is not racist or politically incorrect, there is a lot of room for unpleasantness. To supply this market, an online fantasy costume company in the United Kingdom has launched its line of “tacky costumes.” Joker's announces and displays, without mincing words, its “shocking” offering, which includes the condom suit, the giant penis, the stained tampon, the excrement cake or the pedophile bear. What happened to the traditional witch costume with green skin, warts on the chin, peaked hat and millet broom? They may have complained at their last convention about being unfairly represented at Halloween.
