"In many of the countries of West and Central Africa, the people love "". In the old days a hunter would shoot or trap animals just to feed his own family, perhaps his village. But now he kills as many as many as he can, cuts them up, dries of smokes the meat, and then sends it on a truck to the towns. It is not legal to hunt chimpanzees; they are endangered. But how does anyone know what the animal was when it has been cut into small pieces? Thousands of animals are killed for the bushmeat trade each year. The only hope for the wild animal populations in these countries is that, because animals are disappearing fast, they are harder to find and kill. The hunters complain that they have to travel farther and farther into the forest to catch anything at all. And so, if programs for breeding s can be introduced, at lest some of the remaining wildlife will have a chance."
