Sad indeed and the Selous this year was the driest I have seen in a very long time.

I wish writers would also refer to dead animals as carcasses and not corpses which is a reference to dead humans.

How sad. I couldn’t believe that cow was not dead already that they were trying to get it to stand. Pity.

Most writers dealing with Africa have been writing that way for years. It seems like they can't-or won't-differentiate between animals and themselves. rotflmo

The little story about the poor Masai herder was really sad- until it mentioned his 3 wives and 17 kids! WTF? 2020

Don’t want to sound uncaring but if Kenya allowed hunting like they should, I feel confident there would have been bore holes drilled that would have really helped the wildlife. One of these days the old ladies in Kenya are going to wake up to all the game being dead. Hunters make wildlife exist, we protect it the do gooders make me sick. These pictures are the result of total mismanagement and they are horrible. Where are all the bore holes that the photo safaris provide, and the anti hunting coalition’s. They can all fuck right off

Bore holes are a nice idea but only of any use where there is plenty of feed but limited drinking water. Those animals are starving to death and no amount of drinking water is going to help them. Modern medicine stops the peope dying and veterinary science stops the goats and cattle dying. In Kenya the numbers of people and livestock are such that desertification of once fertile land is inevitable and probably irreversable. It will not be pretty.
I can remember when black rhinos got in the way of buffalo hunting there and the farm land was alive with game because the value of trophy fees was greater than the income from cattle.
Having been back to Kenya to build a school a few years ago I found that even Impala have been exterminated in Western Kenya apart from a few behind a fence on the shores of Lake Victoria.
In 1960 the GDP of Kenya was much higher than Malaysia but now Malaysia gives aid to Kenya. The country still has its hand out to the West for aid and then sells it's soul to China. A school teacher there remarked that it took 80 years to get rid of the British but it would take 800 years to get rid of the Chinese! As Caesar said before he crossed the Rubicon, "If people cannot rule themselves somone else must rule for them!"
