The bushmeat trade is eradicating Kenyan wildlife, which has declined about 70% since the hunting ban of 1977. Traditionally, few Kenyan tribes ate wild game, but with the ban, which took effective anti-poaching forces run by PH's out of the bush, and the near-total lack of wildlife law enforcement, millions of animals have been strangled in snares, to be sold as unidentified 'meat', even in big cities. Huge regions which once teemed with wildlife now support nothing larger than ground squirrels; it has all been eaten. One of the bunny-huggingest organizations did a survey of Nairobi butcheries a few years ago, and found that over 30% of all meat being sold was game. None of this seems to worry the animal rights groups which control wildlife policy here, however; so long as no one shoots anything, they consider Kenya a conservation success.
