It says 'Today, the scale of the slaughter is immense. The Washington-based Bush Meat Crisis Task Force estimates that up to five million tons of wild animals are being "harvested" in the Congo Basin every year ? the equivalent of 10 million cattle. The trade was initially driven by hunger ? it was a cheap source of food ? but has burgeoned with increased logging of the forests and growing demand.
Now, it is international, extending the threat beyond the continent's boundaries. Scientists have warned that Britain is at risk from an outbreak caused by the lethal Ebola or Marburg viruses contained in illegal imports of bush meat from Africa.'
This is serious shit, not just people, but food being bought in & spread between our own countries! It needs to be stopped!
