Recently,Germany criticized Botswana for allowing trophy()hunting,which means the shooting of big animals such as elephants,big cats and bears for one's pleasure.Masisi felt angry about this and suggested that Germans should experience living among elephants. Masisi said that Botswana has too many elephants.The number of elephants in the country has grown to about 130,000.The elephants are damaging people's property(),eating their crops and stepping on people. As Masisi told a German newspaper called Bild,hunting is an important way to control the number of elephants.In fact,Botswana stopped allowing trophy hunting in 2014,but in 2019,they allowed it again because of pressure from people living there.Now,the country gives out a 400-elephant permit for hunting each year. Germany is one of the biggest countries in the European Union for importing hunting trophies,which include their body parts.Earlier this year,Germany talked about making the rules stricter for the import of hunting trophies because they are worried about illegal hunting. "In light of the alarming loss of biological diversity,we have a special responsibility to do everything to make sure the import of hunting trophies is sustainable and legal,"a spokesperson for the environment ministry in Berlin told AFP. Mary Rice,executive director of the NGO Environmental Investigation Agency,told CNN that Masisi's words are a "rather empty threat".But the disagreement shows wider issues around trophy hunting,according to Rice. "Regardless of whether you are for or against hunting as a conservation tool,the hunting industry -as that is what it is -needs to get its house in order,"she said.She also said that the rules on hunting aren't very clear, and that some people might not follow the rules. 23.What was the main reason behind Masisi's decision to send 20,000 elephants to Germany? A.To encourage Germans to allow trophy hunting. Emily and I are twins.We love cooking healthy food together!Our parents have always cooked at home.They really 46us a lot.
