Evo bas novost od jucer.
Krknuli Massai, slona, kopljem. Smetao im na nasadima u polju. Uginuo od infekcije rane od koplja. Jedan od najvecih na svijetu. Patio se malo par tjedana, ali nema veze to onom ko ga je najurio iz polja.
Ono sto uspjesne lovne zemlje rade, daju ekonomsku vrijednost divljaci, i involviraju lokalnu zajendicu.
U keniji lova nema, pa se nema kog ni involivrati oko tog.
U ZImbabwe, ili Namibija na sjeveru, ili tanzanija, i sl. na komunlanoj zemlji (plemenska zemlja) odstrelna taksa za takvog slona (do 50.000 US, prosjek), jedan dio ide u fond domicilne zajednice, plemena.
Od tog investiraju kasniije u gradnju pumpe za vodu, skole, ambulante i slicno.
Meso ide cijelom selu, hrana za cijelu zimu. Nekoliko tona mesa, samo od jednog odstrela
Cijelo selo je svjesno, kad se odstreli slon legalno i na takav nacin, pare stizu u komunalnu kasu .U ovim slucajevima gdje je zajednica involvirana, krivolova nema, svi trpe divljac u blizini jer imaju koristi. Ne diraju divljac koja nosi novce
Plus, mladju generaciju zaposljavaju po lovnim koncesijima kao trackere, skinnere, ili PH lovce. Poslovi se otvaraju.
Kad tog sustava nema, slona krkne bilo ko kome smeta.
Koplja, strijele, mogu biti i otrovana, ne trebaju im puske. Cesto je trovanje izvora vode, za ubijanje slonova koji smetaju na polju i usjevima.
Kad zabranis lov, divljac smeta, ne vrijedi nista, ubiti takvu divljac je isto sto ukloniti stetocinu, poslova po loklanim lovistima nema jer nema lova, nema se posla i tako i tako, bestiju maknuti.
Zabrana lova za Massai-je ne vrijedi. Dzabe im Kenijski zakoni.
MIslim da se danas zna poimence za vjerojatno manje od 20 grla slona, ovakve velicine kljove, za cijeli kontinent. To je steta koju su upravo napravili.
Ovakve vijesti, kao u nastavku nisu rijetkost, ovo je svakodnevnica. Samo ih u zapadnim medijima niko ne prati.

One of Africa's largest tuskers – a well-known elephant dubbed 'Tolstoy' who roamed the plains of the Amboseli ecosystem in Kenya – has died at the age of 51 as a result of an injury likely sustained in an altercation with a crop farmer.

According to the BigLife Foundation – an organisation that works with local communities and partners in Kenya to protect wild species and mitigate human-wildlife conflict –
the iconic elephant suffered a spear wound in the leg six weeks ago that wildlife rangers suspect was inflicted by a farmer during a nighttime crop raid by Tolstoy. Many elephants in Kenya come into conflict with humans as they are increasingly forced to compete with people for resources like land, water and food. Tolstoy's wound was treated at the time of the injury, and rangers working in the Kimana Sanctuary were monitoring his movements.
On Wednesday morning, Tolstoy was found lying down – a posture that was not unusual for the enormous animal who was known to take frequent naps. However, when rangers moved in for a closer inspection they immediately realised that he was in bad shape. Two veterinary units from the Kenya Wildlife Service were called to the scene and quickly administered further treatment, but getting the injured elephant to stand up was always going to be a monumental challenge.

"For hours the rangers and vets tried to pull him up with vehicles and ropes, with no success," the Big Life Foundation wrote on their website. "A front-end loader was called in as a last desperate attempt, but Tolstoy was just too weak to stand." With daylight fading, and the team running out of ideas, the famed tusker finally succumbed to his injuries.
"Today is the saddest day in my job as a ranger, having lost one of the elephants that I treasured the most," said Job Lekanayia who was on the scene trying to save the injured animal. "We tried everything that we could. I thought he would wake up, but he just couldn’t lift himself up."
During Tolstoy's half a century of life much has changed on the Amboseli plains. Most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many who work in the tourist industry to seek alternative means of make a living, which has resulted in rapidly expanding farmlands. Tolstoy's habitat has shrunk, bringing him and others of his species into conflict with humans.
"His death is a reminder of the vulnerability of even the largest of animals, as well as the urgent need to protect habitat for wildlife and manage the interface between wild animals and human activities," the Big Life Foundation urged. "There are solutions, and we are making progress despite a tragic setback such as this."
