Zambia wants to kill 2000 hippopotamuses abroad

According to Banda, the hippopotamus population is too important for the surface of the Luangwa River, where most animals live. Moving elsewhere in the South African country is not an option because the system costs too much.

"South Luangwa National Park has more than 13,000 hippos, but its area is only suitable for 5,000 units," Banda said, adding that the ecosystem would be threatened. "It would be very expensive to move hippos into other waters, for now our only option is to kill hippopotamuses."

The British charity Born Free led the campaign in June 2016 against Slaughter of animals and described it as a trophy hunt. On Monday, Born Free reports on its website that Zambia has not provided solid scientific evidence that there is an overpopulation of hippos in the Luangwa River. 19659005] Invalid email address.
