Attention Cecil The Lion Fans: Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe Allegedly Ate A Baby Elephant
Outraged animal lovers and conservationists petitioning the White House to extradite big-game hunter Walter Palmer to Zimbabwe for killing Cecil the lion may be unaware the the countrys president, Robert Mugabe, reportedly ate baby elephant meat during his lavish 91st birthday party in late February.
A deceased lion was also allegedly involved in those festivities, a bash that cost about $1 million and was staged at a luxury resort with thousands of party guests in attendance.
Held a week after his birthday, the celebrations were described as totally unethical by wildlife conservationists, and obscene by members of the opposition, The Independent of London reported.
Palmer, a Minneapolis dentist, has gone into hiding as a result of the national and international outrage over the death of the beloved Cecil the lion.
A separate Care2 petition addressed to Mugabe, Zimbabwes leader since 1987, demands justice for Cecil the lion, formerly a resident of Hwange National Park wildlife reserve, by calling upon the president to stop issuing hunting permits that kill endangered animals. The petition has about 860,000 signatures as of this writing.
Mugabe has long been accused of corruption, violently suppressing dissent, and vote fraud in the country formerly known as Rhodesia, resulting in sanctions imposed by the U.S. and other countries. The long-time Zimbabwe president is widely criticized for his human rights record, disastrous economic policies and impoverished citizenry, the Washington Post explained.

Yum, I like elephant ears with a cup of coffee. :)
But but but...
Mugabe can do no wrong! He is a giant amongst African Leaders, and has done more to restore the pride and power of the black man than anyone since Mobutu Sese Seko and Idi Amin Dada!

Put yourself in the mind of a greedy dictator of a failed country with very few resourced left unspoiled by neglect or mismanagement.
Mugabe will take full advantage of the American’s sudden fixation with that Lion, and he will wring every dollar possible from it. There will be fees to examine the Zimbabwe police records, fees to talk to certain people, to translate (accurately?), to get physically close to the animals, to ‘repair’ the lands after they are trampled and walked on.
Before this is over, Kerry may be offering to pay ‘reparations’ to Zimbabwe. “It would be my honor!”
ELEPHANT LIVES MATTER
Mugabe is also a friend of North Korea and has sent it various animals.
In my experience, practically any meat can be made good if you smoke it long enough with proper basting, injection, moisture, temperature, and smoke. I imagine, though, that adult elephant would require a month or so and more needles than you'd find hanging out with twenty or so heroin junkies.
In one sitting.
Mugabe has the proper melanin content to avoid any and all accountability.
Look, he could eat a baby human being.. at the left wouldnt care
It is fitting that Palmer is compared to Mugabe. Both are guilty of the sin of pride.
