Hunting Responsibly ome people think hunting seems cruel to animals, but most hunters actually have a great deal of respect for the animals they shoot. Most do everything possible to make sure the ani- mals don’t suffer. They do this partly by practicing their shooting skills to be sure the kill is quick, and partly by respecting the animals’ envi- ronment—not littering, cleaning up campsites—so that healthy ani- mals can thrive. Hunting laws and hunting licenses are also designed to prevent over- hunting and make sure animal populations are healthy. This means making sure there are not too few of a certain species, but also making Hunting licenses are required in most areas, for most types of game.
