Kenya divided on sport hunting ban
Kenyan delegates at a conference in the east African nation were divided over a proposal to call off a 30 year old ban on hunting for sport.
Each year thousands of tourists visit the country to enjoy its wildlife parks and reserves but the number of animals in Kenya has decreased by at least two thirds over the past 30 years. Many experts blame illegal hunting and human destruction for this decrease.
Those who support hunting for sport argue that it could help wildlife by forcing the authorities to enforce better management. South Africa and Tanzania are two countries who have legalized the so called sport and they have had a notable increase in their animal numbers.
"Every time they try to count our animals there are fewer and fewer. I am against hunting because we don't have the capacity to enforce any rules on it", Sarah Macharia, a Kenyan environmental consultant told Reuters.
