Stay of Execution for KNP Elephants

The decision to cull elephants in the Kruger National Park has been put on hold due to international pressure from animal welfare groups. A big thank-you to everyone who also sent their outcry to the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. "It is unclear how long the government’s postponement will hold, and that at least another three months of research needs to be done into the impact and necessity of culling." ~ Rudi van Aarde, ecologist at the University of Pretoria.
