The African country of Namibia has decided to slaughter more than 700 wild animals, including elephants and zebras, and distribute the meat to the public as it faces the worst drought in 100 years.
The Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Tourism has announced that more than 700 wild animals will be slaughtered, and their meat will be distributed to the affected people. Blue wildebeest and 300 zebras are included, and they will be hunted from other areas, including national parks.
The program aims to help mitigate the effects of drought in southwest African countries.
The Namibian government has been in a state of emergency since May due to drought. Half of Namibia’s population is undernourished due to drought.
