How can illegal hunters stop?
Here are five ways you, as a member of civil society, can help combat the illegal wildlife trade:

Should people stop hunting animals?
Hunting disrupts migration and hibernation patterns and destroys families. For animals such as wolves, who mate for life and live in close-knit family units, hunting can devastate entire communities.
Why hunters should stop hunting?
1. Hunting causes pain and suffering. This violent form of “entertainment” rips families apart and leaves countless animals orphaned or badly injured when hunters miss their targets. Quick kills are rare, and many animals endure prolonged, painful deaths when they’re hurt but not killed by hunters.
Why should we stop hunting endangered animals?
Animal species are of significant value in medicine. It is estimated that about 40 percent of all medicines derive from animals and plants and since not all substances produced by animals have been evaluated for medicinal use, the loss of one species could result in losses of treatments for human diseases.
How can we stop animal trading?

How can we solve over hunting?
Here is what you can do to help:
- Ask before you buy.
- Stick to certified products.
- Choose sustainable, eco-friendly pets.

Why is it important to stop hunting?
Hunters cause injuries, pain and suffering to animals who are not adapted to defend themselves from bullets, traps and other cruel killing devices. Hunting destroys animal families and habitats, and leaves terrified and dependent baby animals behind to starve to death.
