Refrain from hunting during breeding season — Green-SONS

DIMAPUR — The Green Succession of Nagaland State (Green-SONS) has appealed to Naga people to refrain from hunting and poaching activities, especially during the breeding season.

The NGO in a press release also urged village councils to ban all sorts of hunting in their respective jurisdictions during the breeding season.

Green-SONS expressed displeasure over the present hunting and poaching scenario in Nagaland where “insensible Naga hunters kill wild animals” and proudly post pictures of themselves along with the slain animals (‘trophy’), thereby causing hindrances to efforts of animal conservationists.
