Keep animal sanctuaries safe
Summary
The issue: Animal sanctuaries.
Our view: We hope the warring parties over the Zziwa Rhino Sanctuary can come to a mutual agreement to sustain the life of the rhinos, and in a way that keeps the animals safe.
And that the terms of the sustenance of other sanctuaries in the country have been well-documented and abided by in order to avoid similar problems.
