Hunting: Hell in this World on Animals

We know that there are various kinds of wild animals living in Africa, especially mammals. The survival of mammals in Africa is not only because of the best climate here, but also because it is the only area that has not yet been largely destroyed by human activities. Today, most hunting is happening in Africa. Many hunters chose Africa as destination, not because the continent had the richest mammals, but because humans are less likely to encroach on this area. Today, the level of biodiversity in mountainous areas is high. Besides natural factors, the more important reason is that, the mountains play the of shelter of animals in human’s destructive effects.

Historically, mankind considered nature as a resource mine that can be exploited infinitely, until modern times, we began to carry out conservation to protect endangered species. Some scientists in University of Aarhus do a survey of carnivores, it shows that humans are “efficient super-predators”. Human break the laws of survival in the animal kingdom. Researchers say that although human is only one of the many predators on our planet, the impact of human on animal groups is most profound compared to other animals. Survey data shows that human predation on fish is 13 times larger than other marine predators, such as shark and killer whale.

Researchers point out that human hunting activity is only destructive when what we hunt is much higher than that of other predators. If only adult animals are hunted, rather than babies, human activities will only reduce the number of animals, and will not scarify the ability of regenerating. However, if we destroy their reproductive ability, then it will lead to large impacts on animal survival, such as the extinction of species, the interruption of food chain and ecosystem.

Scientists say the number of large predators we hunt, such as bears, wolves, and lions, is nine times the number of other animals these predators hunt on land. The most serious is that by hunting the adult animals with reproductive capacity, mankind breaks the law of. Our efficient super-killing skills, our economic system, and our focus on short-term benefits, produce more and more super hunter.”
