Hunting may seem like an enjoyable, high thrilled activity, but hunting causes many negative impacts. Even though there are several reasons as to why hunting is a beneficial activity, hunting is a negative action due to safety, poaching, gaming, extinction, and cruelty. While hunting, fatal accidents are likely to occur from varying reasons. Poaching is a form of killing innocent animals that in effect makes fur coats and skin boots. Game hunting is a type of hunting that is known for trying to kill the biggest, most valued animal in a species, for the thrill of it. Animal extinction occurs from the numbers of hunters that kill multiple animals every day for no beneficial reason. Animal cruelty is caused when hunters try to kill an animal but do not necessarily kill it. These hunting effects and types of hunting all need to be unacceptable in America today. These disturbing hunting techniques should be intolerable for Americans to take practice in. Hunting, altogether, should cease to exist unless used for survival needs. There are no excuses why animals, daily, are being killed and found for no apparent reason; they are killed by hunters that enjoy excitement that hunting brings. Legislation needs to be passed regarding hunting laws and need to be put into effect before the world loses more of the greatest animal species in the world.
