Some Baka, seeing the money that the Bantu are earning from the bushmeat trade, are now hunting for profit, too. |
The bushmeat trade is rife in parts of Africa, where animals ranging from rats, wild dogs, lions leopards and rare apes are trapped for food. |
Though, personally, I prefer the story of the Dalston traders who did a roaring trade in bushmeat. |
Few are dependent on bushmeat to feed their families, and they set snares only for bushpigs, bushbucks, and duikers. |
But with the influx of vast numbers of loggers, the eating of bushmeat has escalated. |
According to a probe into the dealers, as much as 10 tonnes of African bushmeat may be arriving in London each day. |
