Elephant - For ALL

.

Gonarezhou National Park - ZIMBABWE

.

For us it is a saddening sight -

a magnificent bull elephant struck down in his old age

.

.

BUT

.

.

for the starving of Zimbabweans, it was little short of a miracle

.

It took just one hour and 47 minutes for the 13ft-tall elephant to be reduced to a skeleton. Every part was used for food, even the trunk and ears. Starving Zimbabweans grapple with each other as they set upon the elephant to get meat. The meat was taken back to homes. Some was eaten immediately but most was dried on washing lines and stored to eat later.
