At The Dump

At The Dump

Had to euthanize 2 elephants that suffered intestinal obstructions due to eating plastic at the dump. Hundreds of elephants died from this cause. It was impossible to walk in the bush and not see elephant droppings with plastic in them. I wrote an article for the Ngami Times pasted below and a week later the dump was fenced in and a problem that had been plaguing animals here for years was solved.
