The message is simple: bushmeat is “illegal, dangerous and carries disease.” Instead, purchase your game meat from accredited legal suppliers, many of whom are members of the Wildlife Producers Association of Zambia. All legal game meat is certified by the Department of National Parks as wildlife is legally sourced and safe for human consumption - something that does not occur with illegal bushmeat. Be cautious of where you buy your bush meat from, as it can be meat from any wild animal. The meat is often smoked and dried in the most unsanitary of conditions. The processing of the meat is unsanitary and often different cuts from different species are mixed indiscriminately.
