Accra, July 31, GNA – This year’s annual “Close Season” banning the hunting of wild animals starts on Wednesday, August 1st to 1st December 2007. A statement by the Ghana Wildlife Division on Tuesday, said there should be no hunting of wild animals with the exception of the grass-cutter during the period. It said that the Close Season backed by the Wildlife Conservation Regulations L.I 685 of 1971, was to allow wild animals such as duikers, royal antelopes and bush pigs, the bulk of bush meat supply to breed during the period as the rains had encouraged the growth of fresh vegetation.
