I'm afraid I agree with many rangers in the Kruger who
have devoted many lifetimes living with nature, and they
all recommend culling. Elephants do destroy the bush
and when the rain doesn't come the flora just cannot
cope. Starvation does occur within certain areas that
are over populated. As the Kruger is fast becoming since
green people have made it politically incorrect to cull.

What qualifies you, to say that people in favour of culling
are spreading lies and misinformation, do you believe you know
better than rangers with 30 years of experience. ?
