A Hunting Ban Saps a Village’s Livelihood
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/13/world/a-hunting-ban-saps-a-villages-livelihood.html
SANKUYO, Botswana — Lions have been coming out of the surrounding bush, prowling around homes and a small health clinic, to snatch goats and donkeys from the heart of this village on the edge of one of Africa’s great inland deltas. Elephants, too, are becoming frequent, unwelcome visitors, gobbling up the beans, maize and watermelons that took farmers months to grow.
Since Botswana banned trophy hunting two years ago, remote communities like Sankuyo have been at the mercy of growing numbers of wild animals that are hurting livelihoods and driving terrified villagers into their homes at dusk.
The hunting ban has also meant a precipitous drop in income. Over the years, villagers had used money from trophy hunters, mostly Americans, to install toilets and water pipes, build houses for the poorest, and give scholarships to the young and pensions to the old.
How quixotic. Leftists are racists. They do hate Blacks.

That ban better not include ptarmigans and fluffy furry cuddly bunnies !
Because their lives matter, along with Black Liberal Lives.
Except, not all blacks are drinking the BLM coolaid...
As a player, Ray Lewis was extremely well known for delivering jarring shots that immediately stopped the forward movement of opposing players.
As a media member, now he’s taking shots at the very core of opposition movements.
According to NBC:
“As New Jersey's largest city continues to grapple with urban violence, Former NFL player Ray Lewis sent an "urgent" call for residents of the predominantly Black city to "make lives matter."
The former Baltimore Ravens linebacker said while he understands that social conditions for Black people are among the worst nationwide, "it doesn't give people the excuse to kill each other."
"Remove the word black and say 'lives matter,'" he declared, in context of the Black Lives Matter movement.
"Stop sending mothers back home empty.
You can never replace a mother's child.
If we want black lives matter, let's make it matter to us.
That's the new call."
Of course, one cannot forget that Ray Lewis was once himself charged with murder, though never convicted, so the source of this statement may seem dubious to some.
But regardless of the source, the message of Lewis’ speech is something that in a normal world would be greeted with praise.
Actually, check that, in a normal world Lewis would never have to even say that “lives matter.â€
Yet, Lewis’ completely reasonable and sensible sentiment was greeted with rage by its target, the BLM movement, which possesses neither reason, nor sense.

Won't really be an issue with the ptarmigans, but off-hand I don't know if any kind of hares or rabbits live in Botswana.

Ptarmigans live only in the Arctic region.
There are hares in Botswana.
