Chapter 7: Hunting, fishing, harvesting and gardening

Why do people practice hunting?
  • Hunting is done for one of the following reasons
  • To kill the animal for food (subsistence hunting) 
  • To kill the animal in order to obtain a body part to be sold e. g. Animal skin, elephant tusk, rhino horn etc.
  • As an occupation e. g. professional hunter.
  • For recreation (recreational hunting). This is hunting for pleasure or sport, instead of trade hunting, which is hunting to kill animals for trade.
  • Hunting is also a means of pest control.
  • To kill animals that is a threat to human life.
