Wild Animals For Sale: Govt
Published: 2016 May 11 04:45:18 (4443 Views)
The Zimbabwean government has embarked on a scheme to sell live wild animals in an attempt to protect the remaining country’s wildlife from dire drought consequences.
In an interview yesterday, Ministry of Environment, Water and Climate permanent secretary Mr Prince Mupazviriho said drought impact had to be tackled head on for the survival of most wild animals.
This comes amid continued criticism by the international community of the Zimbabwean stance to auction wild animals so as to fund the dry government coffers.
In a statement, the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority said the scheme would help ease drought impact on the country’s wildlife system.
Zimparks said the process to sell live animals was being handled delicately to ensure that potential buyers were in a safer and good position to cater for the animals.
The authority said only legible buyers would be entertained hence prices of the animal varieties available would only be revealed to committed buyers who would have submitted the required documents.
Elephants, wild beasts, lions, Impalas, zebras are amongst some of the animals up for sale.
