Animal rights

Written by Mahkam Mostghim

The killing of wild animals has always been an issue .It has been considered a necessity of our life. Today, hunting is a controversial issue because it is currently regarded as a recreational activity, a lot of communities are concerned about safety issues and society’s attitude toward animals has changed.
Due to the naumber of some of species are indanger and in the edge of exincion Animal community is more active than before.
In fact as I consider in China ,Panda is one of those rare species which have been under protection and even more than that, there are few breeding centers in West part of China to take care of this endanger speices.

Nowadays there are a lot of arguments against hunting and it is considered unsafe, ineffective and unnecessary.

If we look back to the caveman era, we notice the human being has always hunted wild animals and considered them as a source of food.
Because of population growth during the few past centuries, killing animals has become a big problem.

Cities expand, trees are slashed and forests destroyed, ravaging their habitats.On the other hand cities grow and population increase,more resources are needed to feed human and more space are needed to be cultivated and turned to human habitate.

Global warming is another problem which we are facing and has a great impact on the ecosystem and obviously on wild life.
Then these questions come up: have we ever thought where they should live, and how they find their food?

If we think about it deeper, we can see ourselves somewhere in this chain which might suffer at the end.
In fact the Animal Rights organization has been working hard since last century to defend and protect wild life.

A lot of people argue that hunters shouldn’t kill wild animals, but the fact is that killing a deer is not worse than killing chickens for food.
However a lot of hunters try to defend themselves and claim that killing a number of deer for instance can profit for ecosystem.

Some people who are against hunting take the argument much further and say that animal rights organizations don’t do the job effectively or even noticeably, since today we see so many groups of animals in danger or their race extinct. The African elephants or Asian tigers are good examples.
