Zimbabwe to cull 200 elephants to feed people left hungry by drought

Zimbabwe's plan to cull 200 elephants to feed people left hungry by drought has sparked outrage from animal rights groups.

The government says the cull is necessary to reduce the elephant population, which has grown to over 80,000, and to provide food for the country's starving population.

The elephants have been destroying crops and causing other damage, and the government says it has no other choice but to cull them.

Animal rights groups say the cull is cruel and unnecessary. They argue that there are other ways to reduce the elephant population and to provide food for the hungry.

The government has defended the cull, saying that it is a necessary measure to protect human life and property.

The cull has been met with mixed reactions from the public.

Some people support the cull, saying that it is necessary to protect human life and property. Others oppose the cull, saying that it is cruel and unnecessary.

The government has said that it will proceed with the cull despite the opposition from animal rights groups and some members of the public.

The cull is expected to take place over the next few months.

The government has said that it will use a variety of methods to cull the elephants, including shooting, poisoning, and trapping.

The cull is likely to have a significant impact on the elephant population in Zimbabwe.

The elephant population in Zimbabwe has been declining in recent years due to poaching and habitat loss. The cull is likely to further reduce the population.

The cull is also likely to have a significant impact on the ecosystem in Zimbabwe.

Elephants play an important role in the ecosystem by clearing vegetation and creating waterholes. The cull is likely to disrupt the ecosystem and have a negative impact on other animals.

The cull has sparked a debate about the ethics of killing animals to feed humans.

Some people believe that it is necessary to kill animals to feed humans, while others believe that it is cruel and unnecessary.

The debate is likely to continue for many years to come.
