Poached venison from the forests of India. Barking Deer were killed by poachers to be sold as meat in the local markets in Nagaland.
Bushmeat is the term commonly used for meat of terrestrial wild animals, killed for subsistence or commercial purposes throughout. Bushmeat hunting is common in many parts of the world where hunting of animals from the wild is performed. The issue of bushmeat hunting is highly politicized, with little support for the practice outside the forests and cities where it is conducted.
Despite the ban on hunting since 1991, rampant corruption and poor law enforcement have made it possible for poachers and forest dwellers to feast on some of India's endangered species. Bushmeat consumption is, not surprisingly, higher in remote villages with little access to markets, where it's less than half the price of domesticated animal meat. Largely due to unchecked hunting, 172 species from India have already made it to the Red List of animals on the brink of extinction, annually updated by the World Conservation Union. Hunting is a serious threat to wildlife worldwide.
