Regulated and controlled hunting is very helpful to our environment by helping regulate the population, improve the environment and increase funding for maintenance of wildlife management.
Regulated hunting causes the population to be maintained neutral and positive. In a persuasive essay done by a student, Kenny Randhawa, he states “Hunters kill animals that have large populations, and this can cause those animals to die out due to the lack of food. Hunting these animals will help with population control.” Kenny also says “If hunting is well regulated, as sports or recreational involvement, there are no major …show more content…
According to Randawas’ research: “Hunting can replace missing top predators in an ecosystem”. In Hunting in Context by George E. Clark, he states “This community setting for hunting would seem to be consistent with environmental movements that aim to bring consumers away from industrial and fast food production, such as bioregionalism, slow food, and farm shareholding, also known as community-supported agriculture.” He also states “Environmental conservation has deep roots in hunting in the United States.” Another point from Clark: “Theodore Roosevelt, the president who began the National Wildlife Refuge program and designated 53 refuge sites, was an avid hunter.” Even American’s most valuable treasured president in the world: Teddy Roosevelt, was an avid conservative …show more content…
goes towards maintenance of wildlife parks and centers. Kenny Randhawa states, “The money hunters spend on their hunting licenses is pumped back into programs that help protect and enhance wildlife and the environment.” Another example, The owner of the land that is leased to hunt might use the money he receives from the buyer to improve the condition of the land as in land maintenance and deer corn or feed for the animals to be hunted. Randhawa states, “Large economic benefit to wild life conservation through hunting equipment taxes, hunting license sales, and usage fees”. Clark also extended his research and said that “Poverty is one driver of hunting behaviors that put negative pressures on ecosystems.” The less money you make and the lower class you are in, the less money you have to spend on sports and luxury items such as hunting. Hunting takes a lot of time, effort and also money. If the population is not controlled and maintained by legal, regulated hunting, the ecosystem becomes
