Curiosity about hunting

Hunting is the activity of hunting or killing usually wild animals, for food, skins or other materials or for recreation. Hunting definitely used to be one of the main source of livelihood in some stages of human evolution, basically before the beginning of animal husbandry and agriculture, when humans were hunters –pickers. Nowadays hunting (in the form of fishing as well) is the main protein source of many communities, especially in the poorer countries of the world.

In industrialized countries hunting isn’t a source of livelihood anymore, it has gradually become a recreational activity or for selling the proceeds of hunted or killed animals. In this background the word “hunting” is generally used for a legal activity, while poaching is used for illegal hunting. Hunting can also be a means of pest control, for instance to keep the population of a species within an environment’s ecological carrying capacity . In Italy, just as in the United States and in several western countries, rangers and ecologists helps writing hunting regulatory standards so that quotes and allowed ways guarantee wildlife animals safekeeping
