It keeps certain animal populations controlled so they don't dominate the animal population. When certain animals are increasing in population, hunting is then encouraged to bring it back to an equilibrium. Humans ARE animals. I think we are so full of ourselves that we forget we are indeed mammals. We need to stop seeing ourselves outside of nature and realize that we are part of it. That the whole world works as a whole. I really dont like hunting or condone it but it does have a point. When humans take control over the natural world and regulate animals then that control has to extend out into also making sure there is balance and that one population does not dominate killing out another. And then also to protect certain populations by reducing hunting when they decline (bison for example!) I think there are multiple levels in which hunting affects the environment- you could even talk about hunting products. Whether hunting is fair? I think hunting turns into something for pansies when the hunters use tons of camo, use towers to climb up and take cheap shots. But manufacturing all of this equipment certainly has an impact on the environment. And whether the hunters eat or dont eat their kill impacts the environment. Also, I think hunting does affect the hunters. Is there still an instinct within us to hunt for food, the thrill and excitement of the kill? Just start researching the history of hunting. You can discuss the evolution of hunting, the turning from a gathering culture to a hunting one and how consuming meat has negatively affected the world! Tons of info out there, take an angle and hop to it! :)What are the positive effects of hunting?
Hunting is not wrong. If you care for the environment you should care for people who help it by controlling the population. If an animal like a Cayote was not hunted, it would kill alot more including more in cities.
Report Abuse
When hunting predators, such as jaguars, leopards etc., a decrease allows for an increase in the species that were consumed by the predator, such as deer and rabbits. When hunting herbivores, a decrease in their population allows for a greater source of food for other animals who may also be herbivores. An increase in herbivores may likely result in an increased population of predators. Simply explain the cycle with greater detail using search engines, encyclopedias, and any other sources of information. Provide statistics to leave a greater impresion.
It helps to limit the population of whatever's being hunted. That's why hunting regulations are so strict in the United States, due both to the dangers of over hunting (can drive a species to extinction) and to the fact that we (and the environment) need hunting in order to make sure that animals like deer do not over populate and eat too much grass, driving out other animals that eat grass, causing the predators to starve ect. ect. ect. That's just one example of many on how over-populating effects ecosystems. For more information I'd recommend:

Hope this helped!
well without hunting sertan animals would over populate and run other animals out of ixstintion(spelling)like coyote and fox, they eat pheasent,rabbit,squirrel,and farm animals but you dont whant to know about that. hope it helped if ya need enything else email me. good luck
edit: s m f , its peaple like you that do that
