Hunting Animals : Hunting Endangered Species

Big game trophy hunting is flat out one of the worst kind of violations you can commit as I personally see it. Knowing that humans kill animals just to show off or either claiming it as a "sport" is truly a sad situation going on. Big game trophy hunting should be banned because it is an inhumane and dangerous practice, they can possibly be killing endangered species, and wildlife populations immensely begin plummeting. Moreover what people must understand is that animals deserve to live just like us humans

Hunting is a common controversial issue among people. Determining when killing an animal is necessary and ethical has mixed viewpoints. One type of hunting that generally creates feelings of animosity among people is trophy hunting. There are very few ethical theories and ideas that support trophy hunting. Trophy hunting is a form of hunting in which the hunter kills an animal with the main goal of taking a part or parts of that animal for a trophy. The majority of trophy hunting occurs in Africa, with big game as the most popular trophies, but trophy hunting also applies to non-exotic species as well. In this paper, I will start with introducing a recent incident involving the killing of a popular African lion, then outlining the main ethical issues with trophy hunting. Next I will analyze the trophy hunting from an anthropocentric, biocentric, and ecocentric viewpoint, and finally I will propose a few solutions that would make trophy hunting a more ethical activity. Trophy hunting has been said to provide many benefits to conservation and preservation of species but is ethically lacking; with some stronger laws and regulations trophy hunting has the potential to be both ethically acceptable and beneficial to the environment.

There are hunters all over the world that use the sport as more than just enjoyment and a goal to get a trophy. Over 200 million animals are killed every year from hunting for the purpose of food and land protection. Farmers who grow corn and vegetables need to kill animals that eat the precious

On the other hand, trophy hunting, which is “the selective hunting of animals for human recreation” , is a problem that can increase the risk of extinction.

Since the European colonization of eastern Africa, trophy hunting has been a highly debatable topic. During the early days of trophy hunting, dwindling numbers of some of the world’s most unique and prized wildlife was not a problem like it is today. Wildlife conservationists and hunters continue to debate the merits of legalized hunting on the economy and on the environment. However, not all hunters value the economic benefits and have passion for the outdoors. In fact, some of these hunters are conservationists themselves, who believe that it will allow for better conservation efforts in the long run. In another perspective, trophy hunters tend to downplay the reality of the killing part. To kill is to put to death, extinguish, nullify, cancel, or destroy. There is a fine line between conservation, and senseless killing of animals involved in trophy hunting.

Can you imagine being left to suffer for countless hours after being wounded by an unknown person? As you lie on the cold ground, feeling your life slowly fade away, wondering what you did to deserve this. And then to end it all, a gunshot to the head. Unfortunately, this is how many animals suffer due to big game, trophy hunting. I am an avid proponent that big game hunting is a merciless tactic that needs to be eradicated from society, because it’s evident it burdens the animal to endure suffering, and by slaying these exotic creatures, it increases the population’s prospect to go extinct.

Hunting was originally a resourceful activity and a necessity for survival. It was crucial to use the animal for food, clothes, and tools. With the exception of cultures who still depend on this method, there are many developed areas where this is not longer required. From the lack of needing to hunt animals for resources, sport hunting has emerged. This is the recreational act of killing animals to use as trophies. The problem with sport hunting is that it is an unnecessary and unreasonable activity that presents several dangers. In order to understand why, one must examine the effects it has on animals, humans, and the ecosystem. It is clear that sport hunting should have stricter regulations.

Is trophy hunting hurtful to conservation? In my opinion, it is extremely hurtful to conservation, but the argument that almost every trophy hunter claims, is that it is not. It is true that this form of hunting brings in an immense amount of money to the countries where it is the most popular, but if someone is trying to save a species, why kill those animals to hang them up on a wall? The money that is brought in through trophy hunting cannot save the animals if they are being shot at as a sport for us humans. Truthfully, hunters do not have much of an argument for what they are doing to already endangered species, so they attempt to cover it up with the excuse of helping conservation.

Trophy hunting has always been an issue in our society and still is to this day. Trophy hunting is the hunting of an animal that is usually kept and displayed by the hunter. We cannot blame Africa for the extinction of many of it’s animals, we have to blame the trophy hunters who have massacred these beautiful animals. The reason why trophy hunting should be banned is because of the risk many animals face of going extinct and because of the lack of respect it has towards animals. It is also driving us into our sixth mass extinction.

The dispute of a ban on trophy hunting has always found its way to the surface. Scrolling through social media and viewing a picture of a trophy, especially of one enrolled on the endangered species list, brings outrage to those observing. Those who come across the news are quick to show their lack of agreement, for it could drive the wildlife into further extinction. Despite the fear of loss proceeds to wildlife habitats and local communities, trophy hunting should have a ban because it has been proven that species decline is a direct impact of trophy hunting.

Although poaching is an illegal act, it is still a growing problem in the world because it is making the extinction of various animals more probable. Not only it cruel, but it affects the environment and ecosystem where these animals reside. Although various people, usually trophy hunters or those uninformed, argue that it isn’t that big of a problem, there are realities to it that won’t be stopped unless we act upon it and bring awareness of the situation.

Humans have been hunting on this planet for over two million years. Our ancestors used complex hunting techniques to ambush and kill antelopes, gazelles, and other large animals dated back to times before Christ. People all around the world still carry on the tradition, but the view on hunting is not the same as it was back then. The world is so industrialized, and people think hunting is cruel and useless because you can buy meat at grocery stores. But in reality, it is the reason the wildlife they see are not extinct. Harvesting game not only benefits the hunter with the meat, but also the land, the wildlife, and controls the game population; therefore, without it wildlife would starve, and land would not be managed.
