How is there a problem? The key sentence in this whole article is, "With Africa's expanding [human] population putting ever more pressure on parks and game reserves, incidents like this will only become more common." If Africa's population is "expanding" in spite of wars, genocide, terrorism, aids, poverty, starvation and lack of clean water, it's pretty obvious to me that the people don't need any help surviving. On the other hand, the elephant population has been dwindling for a century. Which group needs help here? The one growing like a virus or the one that is really stressed and dying? MMMMM. I wonder?

A virus? Another peta picker lusting for the demise of humanity so that momma earth can celebrate the animals, unless she blows up a rift volcano, a tsunami, or grade 9+ earthquake, or returns to the ancient pattern of thousand year droughts. The approach might be not the burgeoning population, but the increasing migration of peoples, tribes, tourists and support systems, china and south asian immigration, and increased management of the parks, including (gasp) the occasional need to cull surplus population. The girlies here appear to want the deer population to rise to a point of a predictable die off, rather than a culling by (gasp) hunting. With guns (another gasp)
