| 101 | Bettany | Shame on you parents that don't know what your kids get up to, nor care. |
| 102 | Irene Shaffer | Please.. stop the parties .. perserve the greatness of those magestic animals. I cannot believe that parties would even be allowed on any property containing any animals that could potentially become aggressive. We would not have parties at a zoo and open cages.. the animals would be upset and confused.. and do what instinct tells them to do.. It wasn't fair that the elephant Tusker had to die! It was the fault of humans and the poor animal!! May he rest in peace. |

| 104 | Jacqueline Mason | This is not acceptable. |
| 105 | Jill Vickerman | No more parties at the Charara site please! |
| 106 | Ann Taylor | |
| 107 | Cristina Seiça | |
| 108 | Rolf Shenton | Shame to close parties if people stop supporting the place because of it, but we have to learn to tread lightly. Alternatively arrangements must be made to quarantine humans behind fences in camps. |
| 109 | klalaluka Mulyokela | Conservation matters have no boundaries and the death of Tusker at the hands of over zelous party goesrs leaves much to be desired.
If we are to proggres let our only resources be protected and assure both local and international travellers that we mean well.Interventions of such kind destroys our image.Why should we then be happy to be associated with such unprofesional appraoch.Long live the soldiers of the earth and long live all the petitioners. |

| 111 | Jeanne Robertson | The wild animals need a place of sanctuary and the kindness and respect of all who visit them in THEIR HOME. |
| 112 | Tom Dorsey | These gentle giants, the elephants, need to be saved for millions to see in the future. |

| 114 | Anonymous | I feel a nature reserve is entirely the wrong place for a party of this kind. The reserve is supposed to be a place where interested parties can go and watch animals in their natural habitiat, not cause disruption to it. |

| 116 | Rory Micklem | Controlled parties no problem with parameters where priorities for game welfare is of paramount importance... in addition future parties to also contribute to National Parks... at present what is given to the local authorities from these 3000 people who come into the area?? My guess very little, this must change to allow sufficient funding for policing of such events... |
| 117 | Samantha Stiling | Partys should be held in Nightclubs or similar places awy from wildlife NOT wildlife reserves! Why should these animals have to put up with humans terrorising them in their homes. |

| 127 | Chana Rosenbaum | Your excellency,
please, cherish the wonderful creatures in your country, be aware of the treasures in your resort!
Protect them, and give priority to their protection.
Stop facilitating such big parties, that cause so much harm to living creatures who are far more valuable to your country than these parties! Sincerely, Chana Rosenbaum |
| 128 | Judith Vanderkay | There are other places for parties, but there are not many places where irreplaceable animals can be safe! |
| 129 | Jean Tuckey | I lived in Zimbabwe for 40 years and parties in the bush that belongs to the animals is definitely not on..they are entitled to their peaceful space, there is little of it these days for any of them. |

| 133 | Lucia Cristiana Silva Chagas | Please STOP CHARARA PARTIES. |
| 134 | Ade Williams | Unless acceptable assurances are given that will mean wildlife concerns are not compromised then such parties would be better banned. |

| 136 | Anonymous | If some Zimbabwean youths are unable to respect the wildlife they are so priveieged have in their country, they obviously have no respect for themselves.
The behaviour of these youths, that led to the death of Tusker, is absolutely abhorant. If they want to have such parties, they should have them in their own back-yard. |
| 137 | J.E.A. Stolp | I fully agree with the letter and hope that you will respect the animals and preserve them in a better way. It is not good to give parties in a wildlife reserve. |
| 138 | Florentine van Thiel | Animals are the most precious gift God gave us on our path on Earth. Killing an animal is killing humanity... |

| 140 | TERRY KORDULAK | tusker was shot for no reason... this can not happen again..... why!!! move the party then!!! |
| 141 | Anonymous | Please ensure that any activity that occurs in a wild-life reserve is carried out in a manner that protects the animals and their environment from the many dangers inherent with unaccustomed mixing with humans - whether this be well-intentioned feeding or handling, or deliberate cruelty - these animals must remain aware of the risks close contact with people bring, so that they can remain alive and well and not be threatened with the dreadful fate of Tusker. |
| 142 | Melanie Lines | Charara is refuge of all wild animals we are trying to preserve. They only ask that we respect their habitat and give them freedom to live at peace and not impose our lifestyle on them. I suggest that insead of a party to raise funds money should be raised internationally by setting up donations online. |

| 144 | Carol & Brian Ratcliffe | If we could endorse this petition a hundred times , we would ...one can party anywhere , but the animals lives are hugely restricted , and their limited spaces require respect . |
| 145 | Andrea Knight | NO parties should be allowed there period! The perpetrators should be brought to justice as well, regardless of age. This is outrageous and even saying there should be no loud music after 9pm? How about NO loud music? |
| 146 | Diane M, Kastel | This petition is long over due since a wildife refuge is the absolute opposite venue for a loud and boisterous party! You may as well schedule it in a library ! Who was the idiot who thought this woud be a proper setting for a night-time celebration with loud music and harrassment of animals?? |
| 147 | DIANE M. KASTEL | We hereby request an undertaking from the Chairman of the National Anglers' Union that any party will not take place again at Charara site and that the following rules will be adhered to and enforced forthwith.
No loud music after 9pm
No feeding of or interfering with wild animals
No fireworks. |
