It may take years for some Malawians to abandon the belief that wild creatures are nobody's property.
The truth, which is accessible like the mid-day sun in summer, is the wild creatures and us are Mother Earth's children; children that must take care of each other.
Sadly, as this truth takes time to sink in, natural resources in Malawi continue to be depleted. Wild animals continue to be hunted for no other reason but to satisfy insatiable appetite for things natural.
This is what has happened on Friday in the capital Lilongwe, where some eight villagers visited a graveyard in day-light just to kill the Serval Cat that has been fending for itself for six years at the graveyard.
This type of cat is also common on Mulanje Mountain, but the numbers are being depleted fast. Why? Because people eat the cats. They call them Bvumbwe, just to find an excuse to victimise them and turn them into food.
This is also the reason the Lilongwe 'butchers' proffered as justification for killing the beutiful cat whose species are disappearing fact.
This is unlike the case in the United Kingdom, my current home, where wild cats loam freely, budgers go about their normal business without looking left or right as if they were crossing a road in Nigeria, and natural resources thrive.
I have talked about wild animals that live freely in the trees and grasses of the Amex Stadium, the home of Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club.
I go there every day, I see the wild animals everything.
In the end, Africans are their own greatest enemy. They destroy natural resources and claim to be the victims of climate change.
Change your ways, Africans. Have a heart for natural resources.
