HARARE, ZIMBABUE
The poachers in Zimbabue are poisoning the lakes to capture the animals and prevent the foresters. The cientifics can't determinate who venom is, but they say that this poison is a big contaminant for the plants, ground and, of course, the animals.
At least 21 animals, including nine elephants, five lions, two buffaloes and several vultures have died this year after drinking contaminated water in parks Gonarezhou, Mana Pools, Zambezi, Charara and Matusadona.
"The poachers are now using different methods and techniques that are discreet and do not raise any suspicion. Just do not realize this when the damage is done," said Washaya-Moyo.
Authorities have increased patrols in the parks, while rangers urge to carry their own drinking water in canteens to prevent the danger of drinking contaminated water
that is so sad :(
