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.

I'm not sure protecting the ibex is top priority in Sudan, which is overwhelmed with drought, famine and terrorism.
