700 wild animals, including elephants and hippos, to be killed for meat in Namibia
In an effort to prevent people from starving amid a severe drought in Namibia, the government will cull more than 700 wild animals for their meat.
The southwestern African country is currently facing the worst drought in 100 years. In an August report from the United Nations, officials said the humanitarian crisis in Namibia is likely to leave nearly half of the population — about 1.4 million people — experiencing high levels of food insecurity between July and September.
