Double Take

BBC News stories are very informative, covering a wide range of issues on all aspects of our world.

Often there is one segment of their stories that makes one do a double take.

For example: Cameroon gorillas returning home
Four rare gorillas are being flown from South Africa to Cameroon, five years after they were illegally smuggled to Taiping Zoo in Malaysia.

Excellent news and we are all pleased to see these governments taking compelling and decisive action regarding such an amazing animal,

But then we get to the article's last line:
Gorillas and other primates are often hunted to be eaten in Cameroon and neighbouring countries.
