Should Hunting Be Banned?

Today, there are lots of opinions about hunting animals. For example, some says people shouldn’t hunt animals because to protect animals. Or, there is an opinion which says people are harming nature because of the things which are used in hunting - for example, metals used in bullets - gives bad effect to the nature. Or, they think that hunting is a way to get weapons easily, and these weapons cause accidents such as murder. But, hunting helps people’s life in many ways, from the Stone Age to Today. As example, most people eat a lot of kinds of meats – pork, beef, chicken, fishes, and etc – as a meal. Also, people use oils of animals when people make foods. Or, people use fur of animals in what peoples wear. Also, there are a lot of things which is made from leathers. Should hunting really have to be banned? As written on this paper, hunting helps people life. At present, hunting should not be banned, but hunters should know some about dangerous part of hunting.

Many things have good points and bad points, and so do hunting. Firstly, some hunters use their hunting tools not for hunting but as to kill people. On December 14, 2007, a hunter in Sasebo, Nagasaki killed two people and injured six by using his gun. This kind of accident – a people who got gun legally uses gun for killing people – did not happened in Japan before that, and because this accident was very shocking, some people says that hunting should be banned.

Next, metals - especially lead - used in the bullets harm nature. For example, hunters use bullets that are made of lead when they hunt deer. Usually, that won’t be a problem. But it becomes problem when they leave the part that the bullets hit at the hunting place. If birds eat that place, they –especially eagle –gets lead poisoning.

Third thing is the problem about protecting animals. If the human race kills animals more than it born, that animal, when the worst thing happens, it will die out. Dying out is the worst thing, but it is true that nature balance will be damaged.

There are good parts about hunting, however. For example, some animals – such as bears and deer ― eat farm products. Therefore, foods that humans eat are damaged. To protect from animals hunting is one of the way.

Secondly, some animals harm a human being itself. Bears are the good example. To protect people from these kinds of animals, one way is to hunt and make the number of these animals fewer.

Also, people get a lot of things from the animals. For example, humans eat meats – pork, beef, chicken, fish etc – as a meal. Plus, their fur is used in what humans wear, and shoes are made of their leather.

Taking these reasons to consideration, it is bad to ban hunting. However, hunters must know the dangerous part of hunting such as written on this paper. For example, gun is a weapon, so if hunters use their guns in a bad way, they can kill people, too. Also, people should know that man-made things such as bullets can change the nature rapidly.
