Why Namibia plans to kill hundreds of its majestic wild animals for meat
Namibia is facing a severe drought that has led to a national emergency, causing food shortages and malnutrition for its 1.4 million people. To address this crisis, the country plans to cull hundreds of wild animals, including elephants and hippos, to provide meat. The drought, worsened by climate change, has already resulted in the killing of over 150 animals, yielding 63 tonnes of meat.
