Open season in Sudan as trophy hunters flock to shoot rare ibex
I’ve read an article about hunting on endangered spieces in Sudan. Environmentalists fear the endangered Nubian ibex in Sudan as Westerners sold hunting permits. Many people published pictures with body of rare Nubian ibex which angered the Sudanese who fiercely fight for wildlife. The Nubian ibex is considered extremely rare in Sudan and its population is classified as really vulnerable. I agree with Mohamed al -Tayeb, a Sudanese singer and wildlife campaigner, who thinks that Sudanese law has to change. It will not be easy, considering that in this country the last word belongs to those who have money. But the number of these animals is frighteningly small, so we should protect them at all costs. Also in my opinion hunting of any kind of animals should be completely banned and punishments for breaking the law should be stricter. It is cruel entertainment that should no longer be practiced nowadays. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/mar/23/open-season-sudan-troph
