Africa Addio: (Africa Blood & Guts) Special 06: The Animal Harvest.

(You can download and view the video footage of this in the video section)

You have to see this to believe it...

The documentary shows clearly how under British Colonial rule, Game Reserves (wilderness areas) were set up in which no people, not even blacks, were allowed to go to disturb the animals. The animals thrived.

But when the blacks took over these rules were changed. The black governments decided that these game reserves were "unproductive land" and so they ordered the Game rangers, both black and white to "harvest" the animals. They then slaughtered animals in quantities that boggle the mind, until hardly anything was left.

Then, to hide these uncomfortable facts from the tourists, they blew up whatever large carcasses lie around. There are some bizarre scenes where you will see vultures feeding on a carcass and then the carcass is blown up with dynamite!

It should not surprise anyone that the callousness of blacks towards animals has resulted in most of the major species of animals in Africa today being close to, or heading towards EXTINCTION!!
Its time to stock the butcheries... The Government orders the game wardens (black and white) to "harvest" the animals... The buck falls down dead…

 The elephant is facing the camera. Behind it are trees. Look carefully in the direction of the arrow. The bullet has just struck the elephant's head. There is a spray of blood, etc exploding directly above the elephant's head. It forms a mist of blood…

 This photo is actually quite unbelievale and you have to see the film footage to appreciate it. The carcass of a large animal is covered in vultures feeding on its flesh. It is dynamited. If you look carefully you can make out the shapes of the vultures as many of them are blown into the air by the explosion!!

This was done to hide the horrors of the "Animal Harvest" from those naive tourists from Europe and America!! Can't let them know what is really going on in the game reserves - which are among the largest in the world!!

 It was really the White Colonialists, who should be thanked for the great Game Reserves of the African continent. In fact, the first, and possibly the largest game reserve was set up by the Boer President Kruger.

It should not surprise you that since the whites have gone that Africa's ecology has been systematically destroyed and now most of the animals are on the verge of extinction.

Since those days, whites have worked tirelessly, against great odds to prevent the total wipe out of Africa's game by blacks. Blacks, driven by poverty and desperation of their own creation, coupled with black governments who couldn't give a hoot about the animals, have been responsible for the ecological disaster which Africa has become.
