Kazakhstan to legalise hunting of the once-threatened Saiga antelope

In Kazakhstan, the round-snouted Saiga antelopes were once on the verge of extinction. Today, with a population of around two million individuals according to the government, they are causing damage to farms and competing with the steppe's livestock - resulting in the govnernment's decision to legalise their hunting. The subject is sensitive in a country where antelopes are widely revered.
