Why is prohibition of hunting essential to prevent destruction of habitats?

               In the olden times, hunting was the favourite pastime of kings and noblemen. They hunted wild animals to show off their valour and bravery. However, indiscriminate hunting has resulted in the extinction of animals and  the destruction of food chains.

              Hunting has drastically reduced the number of grazing animals and their predators on grasslands. While hunting is banned in most countries, people still poach or hunt them illegally. Many of the rare species of animals are hunted and collected to fill zoos. This practice is unethical and evil; and therefore, it must stop at all costs.

               Nowadays, governments of all countries have become more watchful about poaching. Poachers, if caught, are severely punished. All over the world, certain areas where wildlife thrives are identified as wildlife reserves. Here, various kinds of plants and animals are protected from hunters and collectors of species.
