Some sort of disease is wiping out hundreds of elephants, those seen in the late stages seem to be showing some kind neurological issues.

Think they went out again and there is more sadly ?

Assuming this is a man made problem ? We won’t be happy till there is no wild animals left.

Not saying this is human related, however having watched "Walking with Elephants" it was clear that most locals are not fans of the local wildlife.

About the same number of hunting permits in Botswana for 2020.
