bushmeat

An Ebola outbreak in eastern Congo has not reduced demand for wild meat, despite experts linking the disease to hunting and consumption of infected animals. Vendors in Kinshasa's Masina Market continue to sell bushmeat, including parts of antelopes and rodents, while health officials warn of zoonotic disease risks from human-animal interactions.

Authorities seized a haul of illegal bushmeat containing rat and antelope in Peckham. A man was arrested in connection with the incident.
