What is Hunting?
'''Hunting''' is going out to find and kill [[animal]]s. Animals and some [[human]]s, hunt [[predation|for food]]. People have hunted at least since the [[stone age]]. They used [[spear]]<nowiki/>s, and now people mostly use [[gun]]s and [[bow]]s. Some people kill the animals for [[fur]], to make clothes and shelter, or to decorate their homes, or to sell. [[Fox]] hunting is sometimes a keeping animal populations from getting too high. Hunting too much, though, can kill off species of animals, making them [[extinct]]. Hunting once made the [[dodo]], a bird, become extinct. Before they invented [[herding]] people got [[meat]] by hunting. Boar hunting and fox hunting became became popular in early modern times. Another form of hunting is not to use guns, bows and arrows or spears, but by [[animal trapping]]. [[Animal rights]] activists oppose to hunting. Anti-hunting laws (English Hunting Act 2004) strive to reduce hunting. ==Gallery== <gallery> File:37-svaghi, caccia,Taccuino Sanitatis, Casanatense 4182..jpg|[[Boar]] hunting, [[tacuinum sanitatis]] casanatensis (XIV century) File:War-hunt outfit in yoruba land.jpg|War-hunt outfit in yoruba land File:Diana of Versailles.jpg|[[Artemis]] with a Hind, a Roman copy of an [[Ancient Greek sculpture]], by [[Leochares]] </gallery> == Related pages == * [[Animal trapping]] * [[Farming]] * [[Fox hunting]] * [[Fishing]] {{Meat}} [[Category:Sports involving animals]] [[Category:Animal rights]] [[Category:Hunting| ]]
