Zim laws protect animals more than human beings: Rights activists

BULAWAYO-BASED human rights groups have expressed concern over the country’s wildlife laws, which they say offer more protection to animals than to human beings, who end up being attacked or killed by them.

This came out at a meeting to discuss climate change and water rights in southern Africa, and trends and opportunities for local researchers and activists.

The meeting was organised by the Matabeleland Institute for Human Rights.
