REPORT SUGGESTS LIFTING BAN ON ELEPHANT CULL
Some Botswanan MPs say the elephant population is out of control
Botswana is considering the reintroduction of big game hunting and reducing its elephant population
by turning them into pet food. The recommendations were made in a recent report to Mokgweetsi
Masisi, the president.
Botswana has around 130,000 elephants, the largest population in the world, and has long been
hailed as a safe refuge for the species amid an Africa-wide poaching crisis. But some Botswanan
MPs argue the population is out of control and puts lives and livelihoods of small scale farmers at
risk.
The report says hunting would boost tourism while “managing’ the elephant population. It also called
for “regular but limited” culling. It suggested meat from culled elephants could be used in canned pet
food.
