- Elephants are trampling villages in Zambia after fleeing
poachers and official culls in Zimbabwe.
-
- The elephants have been crossing the Zambezi River and
marauding through villages near the Victoria Falls.
-
- Isaac Longwe, the chief warden for the Zambia Wildlife
Authority, said the situation is growing worse: "Elephants are terrorising
villagers in the Gwembe Valley and we have since dispatched one hunter
and two supporting wildlife scouts."
-
- The elephants have damaged fields and property and ransacked
grain stores according to the South African Press Association.
-
- Villager Stanard Halenga said thousands of people had
abandoned their homes and said many were on the verge of killing the elephants
themselves.
