AFRICA LOSES WILD BEASTS, SAYS HUNTER Animals Becoming Extinct Due to Slaughter. Explorer States. B’l \f t • ■ << - NEW YORK, April s.—Africa, paradise of the naturalist and big ganv - hunter alike since the beginning of history, is rapidly losing its wild life, and the African lion, rhinoceros and other beasts arc goine tUe way of the American buffalo This statement come from Mrs. Carl Akeley, widow of the late Cat! Akeley. famous African explorer and naturalist, and herself an authority on African wild life. Before the Faculty Club of Columbia university, Mrs. Akeley made some striking disclosures about the decline of animal life on the dark continent. Old Africa Dead ‘ Today the wild animals of Africa ere making a losing fight," she said. "Their backs are against the wall. The grea* problem of the student today is not to defend himself against wild animals, but actually to see them: not to make peace with primitive tribes but, to find them living according to their ancient customs. "Economic interests have advanced so swiftly upon his last stronghold of big mamals and savage peoples that the old Africa has for the most part passed into history. The modern high power rifle, the widespread and keen interest of both men and women to go to Africa to hunt big game, the fact that both white settler and native kill for meat—all these spell the rapid extermination of the wild life of Africa.” Few Animals Left As an example of present-day conditions in Africa, she quoted the following from a letter her husband wrote on this final expedition: "There is only a pitiful remnant of the great buflalo herds of the past, and of the other game almost nothing. This is a condition we have found everywhere we have been in Kenya colony . . . Th" old conditions. the story of which we want to tell, are now gone, and in another decade the men who know it will all be gone.” According to Mrs. Akeley, the rapid disappearance of game is due in no small measure to ruthless slaughter by visiting "sportsmen.” Deplores Slaughter "Sometimes,” she said, “men and women who at home display no sanguinary impulses commit atrocities in the African game fields that are incredible to one who has not witnessed them. "We met in Nairobi one ‘sportsman’ who on good authority had killed twenty-eight lions and wounded twenty-nine more which, without even attempting to finish them off, he had allowed to go off in the dongas, there to suffer the torments of slow death.”
