Activists equate hippo culling to trophy hunting
Reuters 15 June 2016
http://www.timeslive.co.za/thetimes/2016/06/15/Activists-equate-hippo-culling-to-trophy-hunting
Note the statement: "Zambian wildlife authorities said yesterday they had suspended the controlled slaughter of up to 2000 hippos over the next five years after animal activists described it as trophy hunting." (emphasis mine)
To correct the DNPW spin... Animal activists and other concerned parties didn't 'describe it" like that out of thin air - see details here: Hippo Hunting in South Luangwa
