Hunting leads to the loss of diversity

Hello word! (: Today I'm going to talk about the negative effects of hunting, I must to say that I'm against of this "sport", but I'm just want to give you some information so you can decide if you are in favor or against of hunting.


Hunting leads to the loss of diversity because people kill a lot of animals during the hunt. The number of foxes killed by hunts is from 25,000 to 35,000 and the number of mink killed each year is approximately 14,000. If people continue killing these animals in this way, they are going to make a change on the ecological cycle and these is going to affect the environment. Also, this can lead to the extinction of some animals and we need to be responsible of our acts because we are not only going to affect the animals, we are going to affect our society because we depend on the animals, each animal have an important contribution to the word, for example, the foxes eat rodents and help with the overpopulation of them. 

In my opinion, I think that every animal is part of our word and contribute with the cycle of life, we need to protect them.

Hello Everyone! Last week I wrote about the activities that people do during the hunt, bout in the post of the week I’m going to talk about some interesting facts about foxes. I think that foxes are really special and I think that they have a lot of interesting facts to surprise us. Well, I’m going to start with the list:

-The fox is considered to be a sacred animal in Japan
-The sexual maturity is about 10 months of age.
The red fox prefers open country habitat but the grey fox prefers dense areas for survival.
-Foxes are the smallest members of the dog family.
-Foxes help with the balance of the ecological cycle because they kill rodent and help to control an excess of the population.
-The foxes can be found in almost every kind of habitat. This show their ability to adapt to the presence of humans.
-Foxes are solitary.
-Foxes are similar to cats and dogs, but they generally avoid contact with these animals.
