Animal hunting

Animal hunting refers to the practice of pursuing and capturing or killing wild animals for various purposes, including food, sport, and population control. It has been a part of human culture for thousands of years, historically essential for survival. Today, hunting continues both as a livelihood and recreational activity, often regulated by laws to ensure sustainable practices and conservation. Ethical considerations arise around the impact on animal populations, ecosystems, and animal welfare, prompting debates about responsible hunting versus poaching and the need for conservation efforts to protect endangered species.
