Zimbabwe is still holding 35 baby elephants captive for export to Chinese zoos! This is in clear violation of CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species). CITES are the only ones who can stop this transport, but so far they have done nothing! Horrific cruelty! Chinese zoos are a nightmare for animals! Several animal welfare groups including Humane Society International have called on CITES to stop the transport, but CITES continues to look the other way. Unacceptable!

Everyone please take a moment to contact CITES and express your outrage over Zimbabwe's continued export of baby elephants. CITES is an international agreement between governments that aims is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival. Both Zimbabwe and China have signed this agreement, and both are currently in clear violation. You can contact CITES directly and make your voice heard by emailing info@cites.org
