ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's government is not even averse to the killing of endangered species of birds in order to bring its collapsed economy back on track. The government has issued special permits to the emir of Qatar and 9 others of the royal family to hunt 100 houbara bustards of the endangered species. Due to increasing criticism in the country against this step, the government is taking this decision for money.
It is being said that the Houbara Bustard is originally from the cold Central Asian region. To escape the harsh cold environment, it migrates south every year to spend the cold and reach Pakistan in large quantities. Jahan Dawn quoted sources as saying that the Ministry of External Affairs has issued permits for the 2019-2020 hunting season.
