ONE of the most curious and harmful lessons that Western animal rights groups continue to teach African rural communities co-existing with wildlife and the African public, in general, is “demand the arrest of chicken thieves and not wildlife poachers”.

As can be witnessed anywhere on the continent, the African villagers and the public can readily demand the arrest of anyone, even the most powerful political elites, if they dare steal their chickens, goats and cows, but not so for poaching wildlife such as elephants and rhinos. Why?
It is because the more the Western animal rights continue to succeed in restricting benefits from African wildlife, more they teach African people to place no value on it and see no need to demand the arrest of wildlife poachers.
