Taking bushmeat off the menu could increase child anemia, study finds

Well I never thought of eating bats for dinner, but for the rural families living in remote parts of Madagascar, bats are a part of their regular diet. Add lemurs to that as well. Unfortunately, there is a delicate balance between hunting and eating protected species and healthy hemoglobin iron levels in children.

And so the debate goes on. I personally think that if locals eat what they call bushmeat (whatever is caught in the wild), then that's their privilege. But I think that endangerment has come about because of other factors.

I'm not an expert. But when I think of children, I think of their needs being filled.
