“A government minister in Tanzania has called for a ‘shoot-to-kill’ policy against poachers in a radical measure to curb the mass slaughter of elephants. Khamis Kagasheki’s proposal for perpetrators of the illicit ivory trade to be executed ‘on the spot’ divided opinion, with some conservationists backing it as a necessary deterrent but others warning that it would lead to an escalation of violence. Tanzania is said to have lost half its elephants in the past three years. Ivory has been dubbed the ‘white gold of jihad’ by activists who say it is funding armed rebel groups including al-Shabaab, the militia behind the siege of the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi that left at least 67 people dead.”
