NAIROBI, April 26 (Xinhua) -- Sub-Saharan African countries should come up with legislation that prohibits mechanized production of livestock products as threats to human and ecological health mount, campaigners said Tuesday.
Tennyson Williams, the director for Africa at World Animal Protection, said that by placing a moratorium on industrial livestock farming, the continent would shield itself from the spread of pathogens, water contamination and habitats depletion.
