Wildlife groups in Zimbabwe have attempted to protest the
sale of endangered species of elephants to the United Arab Emirates. However, the
Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora
(CITES) governs the trade of live animals, and its Secretary has said publicly
that the Convention does not have the power to stop the trade. This is not
necessarily welcome news to animals’ rights activists, but allegedly the trade
does not violate any international law. You can learn more information at News
Zimbabwe.
