There are many doubts about this initiative, given that some animal welfare associations, primarily the British Born Free Foundation, believe we should speak of a "trophy hunt". As reported by Express.co.uk, there are many unanswered questions. According to this NGO, moreover, the selective killing (among other things already started) would have been sanctioned by Department that deals with natural parks in the African state.
Another detail that is emphasized to ward off the hunt for hippos is the decrease in the total number of these animals and the classification "vulnerable" within the so-called red list of IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature). There is talk of a reduction of 20 percentage points recorded in the last ten years. Born Free claims clarity on the difference between culling and hunting trophies and more information on anthrax.
