The Hunters Fraternity wants to provoke us wildlife friends with these t-shirts. But that doesn't work.😉
This is my design suggestion:

“SCOWL AT HOWL
Bloody boots wherever they go.”

#Kenya • Aerial Elephant Treatment on the Tiva River

》The pilot found a harbour on the south bank of the river. It was outfitted with lots of snares, cooking equipment, and other signs of life...《

》...The elephant was spraying water on his leg and swinging it back and forth, clearly trying to keep as much weight off it as possible. Closer inspection revealed a wound on his front left ankle
joint...《

Vietnam seems to be developing as a major hub for Ivory. Through dark channels it continue to China.
🔴7 tons🔴 from Angola an unimaginable amount.

Hunters brag about fighting & paying for poaching.
Where is the proof of paying?
Which is worse, hunting or poaching?
Some hang their trophies on the living room wall.
The others sell the animal parts to Asia.
The result is the same:
🐘 DeaD is DeaD !

Recommendation for hunters:
Let the trophy hunter play computer games. There are enough of them in the Google Playstore and the animals stay alive !
They can improve their shooting skills. So that they don't miss as often.

...She shares valuable survival tips with other herd members and, when threatened, goes to the front line to protect the younger ones. She also knows most water points and pastures.
If the matriarch dies, the next oldest herd member usually succeeds. 🐘🧡

The Matriarch

A matriarch is the name of the lead cow in a herd of elephants. She plays a central role within the herd, usually she is the oldest and most experienced elephant cow. Her authority is not questioned by herd members...
