David Wilkie (WCS) presented the results of research on Taste Preference and Price Sensitiviy for Bushmeat Consumers in Gabon, Bolivia and elsewhere. Includes a slide that shows that efforts to domesticate, raise and market wild animals is generally not economically viable, and is not a good strategy for reducing demand for wild meat. People generally prefer the meat of domestic animals vs. wild animals, especially when domestic meat is less expensive.
