A Country's Cull


South Africa has announced plans to cull African Elephants. But don't threat, this will only be a last resort if they can't control the population in another way.

Locals have been complaining that the mammals are destroying their crops and drinking all of the water. The population has quickly risen from 8000 in 1995, just before culling was banned to 20,000 nowadays.

If an effective way of controlling them, such as creating decent enclosures of them, isn't decided before 1 May, the culling will come into force.

I hope the culling does not happen, and that they find a suitable way which makes every creature, including humans, happy.

Please comment. Thank you.
