Zimbabwe's President, Mugabe, Plans To Celebrate His 91st Birthday By Slaughtering Two Elephants And A Lion

For His 91st birthday ceremony, president Mugabe of Zimbabwe, plans to slaughter two elephants and a lion. The animals which will be fed to 20,000 attendees of the said party will cost Mugabe a whoopping sum of $1m at the Victoria Falls.

Teachers in the country were said to have had $10 taken from their monthly pay forcefully.

Speaking about the event, Innocent Hamandishe, from Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party said:

“We are going to ensure that the wonder of Zimbabwe celebrates his 91st birthday where one of the wonders of the world is,”

Animal Defenders International President, Jan Creamer while reacting to the proposed slaughtering of the animals said:

“To plan the slaughter of endangered species like this does not accord honour to any individual or nation, in fact it, quite rightly, it brings only shame and embarrassment. There is no dignity in such a demonstration of self-indulgent lack of care and brutality”

Johnny Rodrigues, chairman of the Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force, described the plan as “totally unethical.”
