Robert Mugabe's 'Noah's Ark' gift to North Korea

A GIRAFFE has become the first victim of Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe's "Noah's Ark" gift to his North Korean counterpart Kim Jong-Il.
The bizarre experiment involves pairs of African animals, including elephants, zebras, giraffes and antelopes, being secretly flown to North Korea.
One of the giraffes had died as it was being prepared to be relocated and another unknown animal had reportedly died in transit, a conservationist told Radio Australia.
He described the gift of animals as "football payback".
Last month, it was announced the North Korean soccer team would hold a training camp in Zimbabwe ahead of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
Zimbabwe Conservation Task Force chairman Johny Rodrigues told the BBC animals were being secretly caught in pairs over the past two months in the Hwange National Park, western Zimbabwe.
Mr Rodrigues said witnesses had seen state parks vehicles towing cages in the area.
He held particular concerns that two baby elephants may not survive after being separated from their mothers.
Zimbabwe's director general for national parks Vitalis Chadenga last week confirmed a plan to send animals to North Korea, but said Mr Mugabe was not behind it.
"I can confirm that we received an application from the Democratic Republic of North Korea and we are still processing the application" he told The Standard, a Zimbabwean newspaper.
Two rhinos given to North Korea in the 1980s by Mugabe reportedly died only a few months after their relocation, The Standard said.
Opposition groups vowed to demonstrate against the North Korea soccer team's presence. Troops loyal to Mugabe trained by North Koreans crushed an armed rebellion in the western Matabeleland province - where Hwange is located - and massacred tens of thousands of civilians in the 1980s.
The team's visit to Zimbabwe was in doubt. North Korea soccer officials refused to confirm their itinerary when they left Pyongyang for training in Switzerland on May 8.

Would a bunch of flowers not suffice.

Whatever happens, the North Korean people will THINK that they've won the World Cup. Of that we can be sure.

yep, all that's going to be shown on state tv there is edited highlights of the games, showing only north korea attacking or maybe even scoring. how they get by coming home without a trophy i don't know.
very nice people though. haven't a clue about the outside world, but that's the dozy jucheism for you. although how kim jong il is going to explain how north korea suddenly found a couple of giraffes and elephants should be interesting. the press agency will probably speak of his excellent skills at breeding new animals!!

I think Mugabe is a pretty cool guy. eh exports animals and doesnt afraid of anything.

It's like two ugly burds who hang out with each other because each thinks it'll make them seem more attractive.

Agreed. The winner in the final against England will be spectacular. A 20 yard bicycle kick 89th minute by Hong Yong-Jo that flies right into the top corner of the net. Final score North Korea 1-0 England.

(hint : you can tell it's staged because England are in the final.)

There's more eating in Giraffes.

Mugabe is a right proper nutter, and this is just another example of it. I was watching the documentary "Mugabe and the White African", and it really showed him to be a racist nutter, who hates White people, and who has run his entire country into the ground due to his greed and racism.

I saw Top Gun the other night and I must say, what a film! I'd actually become a pilot from watching that!;)
Anyway, in this Top Gun mood, it's my 1700th post and considering this thread has good ole North Korea in it, I thought sure why not, throw this video in!

The giraffe went in on its own, oh no! oh no!

From what i've heard North Korea don't have the TV rights, South Korea were going to offer to transmit a 2 hour delayed coverage into the North, but that may not happen after the torpedo strike on their naval ship.

Robert Mugabe and counterpart Kim Jong-Il - todays Hitler and Mussolini ...and the world sits by (again) in self-interest...
Nothing more to be said.
