| | Africa Addio: (Africa Blood & Guts) Special 06: The Animal Harvest.
This is a special excerpt from Africa Adio. (You can also see the stills for this
special excerpt in the Photo Gallery).
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!!
