Botswana's President threatens to send 20,000 elephants to Germany over stricter hunting trophy limits.
Botswana's President Mokgweetsi Masisi has threatened to send 20,000 elephants to Germany in response to Germany's Environment Ministry suggesting stricter limits on importing hunting trophies. Botswana's elephant population has grown to around 130,000, and President Masisi argues that hunting is an essential means to control the population, as the animals cause damage to property, eat crops, and trample residents. Germany is the EU's largest importer of African elephant trophies.
