Botswana Threatens to Send 20,000 Elephants to Germany | Firstpost America

Germany and the Southern African nation of Botswana are fighting over elephants. Botswanan President Mokgweetsi Masisi has threatened to send 20,000 elephants to Germany. The remarks came after the German environment ministry raised the possibility of stricter limits on hunting trophies import into the country. Germany attributed the potential stricter rules to poaching concerns. However, opposing the move, Botswanan President said that hunting keeps the elephant population in check. Botswana is home to one-third of the global elephant population. The country struggles with an overpopulation of elephants and has offered to send them to other nations in the past.
