UK Consumers Warned Of Illegal Meat Trade

The snaring and consumption of wild animal meat is one of the most serious threats facing wildlife in Kenya today. Wild animals from gorillas to zebras and even elephants are snared by poachers, butchered, and then transported across the globe as part of a widespread commercial trade. Increasingly the problem is also posing a threat to human health, with instances of Ebola, foot and mouth and AIDS all being linked to bushmeat consumption.
