.@BWGovernment @OfficialMasisi Trophy hunting kills animals with significant traits; e.g. largest tusks; thereby removing key individuals & severely disrupting genetic diversity. BUST the myth. Expose the cruelty. https://bit.ly/2XI2nw9 @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive!

#2

.@BWGovernment @OfficialMasisi A nation follows its leaders; Botswana's policies have set a precedent that harms the historic relationship between human and animal. Are elephants no longer valued in Botswana? @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive! https://bit.ly/3gNfKTm

#3

.@OfficialMasisi, @BWGovernment must explore ALL national & international efforts to support #Botswana increase revenues via eco-tourism and responsible trade & not via the colonially-inspired slaughter of iconic #animals. @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive!

.@BWGovernment @OfficialMasisi “It's time to accept that #elephants, like us, are empathetic beings; help each other in distress, grieve for their dead, & #feel the same emotions as each other—just like us." @NatGeo https://ctt.ec/Jbfuc+ @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive!

#5

.@BWGovernment @OfficialMasisi 100s of #elephants are slated 4 slaughter by high-paying #TrophyHunters during #Botswana's 'hunting season'. #Insanity after > 400 #elephants died in Okavango from causes "unknown". https://bit.ly/3gHOLbz @AFP @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive!

#6

At turn of century ~12 million or more #African #elephants roamed the continent. Today, less than ~400K survive. 2020: Upwards of 400 have died in Okavango from "causes unknown". @BWGovernment & @OfficialMasisi want to kill more? #Insanity. @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive!

#7

Is it sustainable use or sustainable ab(use)? @BWGovernment and @OfficialMasisi Reject unethical colonial practices that kill. Embrace eco tourism. Don't sell #Africa's vanishing #WildHeritage to the 'lowest bidder'. @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive! https://bit.ly/2XTff2t

#8

.@BWGovernment @OfficialMasisi > 400 elephants died in Okavango in 2020. #Botswana STILL "unravelling the mystery". Delays, refusing expert help at outset & apparent indifference = inconclusive results. BUT. #TrophyHunting STILL 'A-OK'? @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive!

#9

.@BWGovernment @OfficialMasisi Reports allege Dr. Joseph Mbaiwa (ARCHITECT of LIFTING HUNTING BAN) OWNS SHARES in HUNTING SAFARIS. Conflict of interest anyone? @SafariClubIntl, #LetAfricaLive! https://bit.ly/3EMZNIj @BBCEarth @UNEP @Interior @SecDebHaaland @USFWS
