Rumors about Ebola affect butchers' activity in Bunia

Misinformation about the Ebola epidemic has led to a decline in customers for butchers in Bunia. Social media messages advise against eating beef, causing residents to avoid butcher shops. The butchers' association has contacted provincial authorities to denounce this campaign. Veterinarians assure that meat from controlled slaughterhouses is safe to eat, but advise against bushmeat.
