Hunting For Profit
Animals hunt in order to survive, but people hunt for sport and profit- putting species under threat and upsetting the balance of nature. Many animals are hunted for their skins and hides. The Caspian and Javan tigers, for example became extinct in the 1970s and 1980s. Today hunting is less of a threat than habitat destruction, but people continue to kill, tempted by a huge financial rewards.
