Animals hunted to near extinction

'It’s time for every state and country in the world to follow suit.'

Hunting was once a necessity for the early man to survive, providing him with food, clothing from animals’ skins and material to make tools from bones.

Weapons were rudimentary. Humans and animals literally were fighting for survival of the fittest.

Then as man created agriculture, hunting became a tradition where killing an animal was done for fun.

Fast-forward hundreds of years and man not only has supermarkets and stores that supply food and clothing year-round, he has weapons with night vision and automatic focus, which allow him to take down an animal from miles away.

Sometimes hunters even have the added advantage of being in an enclosed park where animals are bred for the sole purpose of being hunted. It’s not a necessary fight, much less a fair one.

Modern hunters claim their actions help with conservation efforts but scientific research has proven that is not true. Instead the animals are being hunted to near extinction. Costa Rica banned hunting after thousands of concerned citizens asked for it.

It’s time for every state and country in the world to follow suit.
