Do you know Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe is 91 years old?

President Robert Mugabe

I am sure many would be amazed at this while for others they may not see it as a big deal. It was reported that Lion, elephant, buffalo and impala meat will be served at a lavish birthday celebration for Zimbabwe’s president and this move has infuriated animal rights groups. Robert Mugabe’s guests will dine on more than $US120,000 ($154,000) worth of wild animals at his 91st birthday party later this month.

Local farmer Tendai Musasa promised to donate two elephants, two buffalo, two sables, five impalas and a lion for the February 28 event, Zimbabwe’s Chronicle newspaper reported. “This is our way of supporting the function and to ensure a celebratory mood in our community as well,” Musasa said. “The total value is $120,000. This reflects the money we get annually and we thought this would be a perfect gesture.”
Just at a moment we are decrying the drastic reductions in the population of wildlife and a need for more conservation efforts to prevent these endangered species from becoming a fairy tale to the future generations, some would be busy consuming a lion's meat.
