Elephants ! Are we going to lose them too?

The debate is why do humans go straight to the kill option when the elephant population is too large in a given region. We castrate horses, dogs, cattle and some countries even castrate paedophiles...

Zulu Kingdom

The Zulu Kingdom, sometimes referred to as the Zulu Empire (or rather imprecisely as Zululand) was a monarchy in Southern Africa that extended along the coast of the Indian Ocean from the Tugela River in the south to Pongola River in the north. The small kingdom grew to dominate much of what is today KwaZulu-Natal in Southern Africa, but when it came into conflict with the British Empire in the 1870s during the Anglo-Zulu War, it was defeated despite an early Zulu victory in the war.
