Namibia, '08

Landfill.

Baboons are a big problem on farms in Namibia - They raid farms, steal food, break windows etc.
That's why the farmers ( / their children ) hunt baboons, especially the youngsters, down, with sticks, clubs and stones.
Afterwards they are collected in landfills and burned later.
This is what you see here... you may also see some carcasses of Eland and a Kudu.

Lightroom processing.

Inspired by my favourite photographer.

Wow... I knew baboons were disruptive but not to the extent that Namibians send their children out to hunt them... :o

Aww even though I think baboons are ugly, I still hate to see them killed. Sadly, this is what often happens when we humans move into animals' space. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

c'est sont des babouins.

les paysans de Namibia (est autres pays en afrique du sud) chassent les babouins, parce qui'ils causent beaucoup de dommage...
et apres, quand ils sont mort, on les grille ...

je m'excuse pour mon francais horrible :D
