Although hunting is seen as a sport in many parts of the world, hunting is a massacre, and unconscious hunting has many bad consequences. Unconscious hunting doesn’t affect animals but also environment.
“All birds count. Each of them has a place and function in natural life. All animals in nature are important and necessary for healthy forests; For example, Jays bury some of the seeds they collect into the forest. In this way, it contributes to the germination of new seedlings. In other words, he is doing a kind of forestry worker. Our forest existence is much more important than the pleasure of hunting. Everyone complains that there are no game animals left in the nature, each of these game animals is important and necessary for our forests. For example, the bird we call Cikla is actually a Juniper bird, and juniper seeds can only germinate in nature if they pass through this bird’s digestive system. In other words, Cikla birds are definitely needed for the existence of Juniper trees in our nature. If the chikla runs out, our forests will also disappear … ” Says Associate Professor Ayberk.
Hunters cause injuries, pain and suffering to animals who are not adapted to defend themselves from bullets, traps and other cruel killing devices. Hunting destroys animal families and habitats, and leaves terrified and dependent baby animals behind to starve to death.Because state wildlife agencies use hunting, trapping and fishing licenses as a source of income, today’s wildlife management actively promotes the killing of wild animals, and joined by a powerful hunting lobby even sells wildlife trophy hunts to those who enjoy killing them. Wildlife management, population control and wildlife conservation are euphemisms for killing – hunting, trapping and fishing for fun. A percentage of the wild animal population is specifically mandated to be killed. Hunters want us to believe that killing animals equals population control equals conservation, when in fact hunting causes overpopulation of deer, the hunters’ preferred victim species, destroys animal families, and leads to ecological disruption as well as skewed population dynamics.
