BOTSWANA SLAUGHTERS WILD ANIMALS FOR INDEPENDENCE CELEBRATIONS
The Minister of Environment and Tourism has issued hunting licenses to District Commissioners across the country. These licenses allow the hunting of designated animals, which are then used to provide meat for communities during Independence Day celebrations.
It is the responsibility of each District Commissioner’s office to decide how the meat is distributed within their district. According to the Ministry, the initiative is aimed at ensuring communities benefit from local natural resources while also helping to manage problem animals.
