Germany should accept the offer
Imagine the size of the rump steaks !!! Delicious.
could they pass thru customs?
If germany love elephant so much, why so hard to accept 20.000 elephants ? You love them right?
Old habits die hard, European countries never miss a chance to lecture other countries on their internal affairs, why Germany tool this decision unilaterally why they did not discuss the issue with Botswana government before making any remark.
By the way botswana citizens are call batswana not botswanian
Und von Deutschland schicken wir ihn die 6,5 Millionen Arbeitslosen
a ban on hunting?
so a corrupt african dingle berry is mad that poaching is being outlawed.
as usual. africa is still broken
Colonial master!
Don't make empty threats. Makes you look weak. This must be Africa's problem. Maybe other African countries want some? Are we asking you to come here and regulate our wolf population?
D day but with elephants 🤣
Thank you, Botswana, for your humor. As a German, I appreciate that. I'm in tears now. That's too funny!😂🤣🤣🤣
The elephants may be live along The great Rine river.😅
we should also keep population control on humans
the double standard is ridiculous
Stop being cruel to animals. God hates cruelty. Why blame the elephants?
People think it's easy to control that many elephants because they don't have them at their disposal
Poor animals.
4:51 elephant leather is incredibly strong – just saying
Elephants immigration VISAs.
😂😂😂
LOL 🙂
The best joke EVER!
Botswana == The best!
Will 10x the amount of illegal immigrants be exchanged in return?

I love that line…."the western flexing their muscle"
He's mad the bribery money from the rich poachers will go away…
It's very sad the fate of these magnificent animals is in the hands of someone like this.
They should have UN/International Protection
That's a lot of Schnitzel!
Note to the Algorithm: This is the only type of news I need! Germany, now put your money where your mouth is! 😊
I am German, and imagine what would happen if a Botswan minister would tell Germany how many pigs to eat because they have a different point of view about cattle
I bet they will be fine, given they send back 20k of the Botswana's people back.
It’s typical to moralise over problems that’s not yours!
Germany should accept the gift & redonate the elephants to places where they are still endangered.
Meat's back on the menu boys!
I didn't even know the earth still had 20,000 elephants on it wow im done
Western world !! I cant have enough of their bloody double standards!
Problems in Botswana almost certainly due to humans encroaching on their land. Too many Botswanans🙂
elephant lifes matter
Müssen wir bald Elefanten aus dem Mittelmeer retten? Und haben diese auch einen Anspruch auf Asyl wegen politischer Verfolgung?
