SomaliNet Forums

A lab-owner friend of mine on another forum is in Zimbabwe for an elephant hunt. I thought this post was interesting:

" I have hooked up with the biggest lab in Zimbabwe and will be doing a study club meeting with them while I’m in Harare the week before my elephant hunt begins. There will be about 50 people there. A few interesting facts about Zimbabwe: They have about 215 dentists in the whole country and 34 dental technicians."

Grant, in the developing countries, every parent want their children to be either a Doctor, Engineer, Lawyer etc. Higher education is valued for its prestige moreso than anything else.
That is why you see stark gaps in service delivery and quality in all sectors of the economy. Technical and the vocational skills are lacking and are not appreciated by parents or the bureaucrats that staff the local "Ministry of Planning" or the "Ministry of Labour" .

only 215?

hang on, how many do we have in Somalia?

I was going to say you should consider relocating to Harare, but the political situation there is not very good. My mum used to work there and loved it. Zimbabwe is beautiful.

abundance of specialized technical skills are characteristic of 1st world nations.

I can't stand people that practice animal poaching. The guy had to travel all the way to Africa to poach endangered animals.

Just yesterday I was reading article about one of last two white Rhino remaining in the world was poached.....now the last remaining one will be a winning price trophy.

Is the elephant hunt legal or illegal?

215 dentists for a population of over 12 million is small. Why are you highlighting this and what's interesting about it.

Dentistry is not vocational

but academical you have to study for it very long because all the dengerious nerves in our mouth's

It's a legal hunt and he is paying an arm and a leg for the privelege. I don't really know the truth, but he claims the victims are carefully selected and are all "rogue" bulls. Sounds like a canned hunt to me.

It can't be worse than the results of a hunt I saw the leftovers from just outside Jilib. An Italian paid off somebody to hunt and killed a young bull that was still with the female herd. The tusks were less than two feet long. Gut shot him at dusk and then kept shooting at him most of the night. The body was wedged upright between two trunks in an acacia thicket. By the time I got there the face, feet and tail were all gone. Not one of my better memories.

We have more dentists and technicians just in my end of Oakland.

Grant, I will try to search the facts involving the legality of Elephant hunting, however, the point I was trying to make is that I can understand some stupid African-poacher who may claim he’s driven to poaching in order to feed himself, but a foreign wealthy sport hunters have no such excuse; their unethical behavior is driven by thrill-seeking and story-telling to their other wealthy friends back home.

'I can understand some stupid African-poacher who may claim he’s driven to poaching in order to feed himself'



Jr@looooooooooooool

Jr Walaahi your hate for White people is sooo deep, u will need an army of psychiatrist to treat you.


So u basically 'understand' african poaching but absolutely do not understand White foreigners poachers.I mean - poaching is poaching-- your intial post clearly showed a conviction against poaching indangered species, i was proud of you for a moment. Jr Walaahi u must hate living in a white mans country, You must pray for Somalia to have a government walaal, so u can be happy amidst your people ordinary dark skin people.

Grant --- as usual -- u irritate me to the zenith, your slow, pointless reasoning is absolutely annoying.Do u have alzheimer or something? You see to digress from your initial point as u progress in your sentences. What do u find interesting in that post????????????????????? I see nothing short of --idiosyncracies by a dellusional poster who who pretends to be 'bold' enuf to hunt elephants. Aqaaas



I am sorry i am havin a day. Its too hot out there.

^^^ did u give birth yet??

No quote of Basra


She lacks one....


BTW, dear Basra....what I said was that, if a "Stupid African-poacher" is willing to go about and poach animals for reasons to "to feed himself"...meaning getting money from those rich people, "I understand",...meaning he's a sell-out African and a stupid: but what about those "wealthy foreign hunters"

Do you disagree? Or you’re being critic as usual, just of being you?

i heard the biggest and baddest poachers in africa are somalis.
