Background:
|
||||||
| Problem:
"Poaching is the illegal killing or taking of any wildlife. Poachers
take animals for a variety of reasons. The hides, skins and other parts
may be used for clothing, food, folk medicine, jewelry and trophies.
Some animals are captured live and used in the pet, falconry, or
live trophy animal trade. http://www.naweoa.org/poaching.html |
||||||
| Bycatch is the illegal form of throwing back unwanted marine creatures that have been wounded or killed in fishermen's nets. | ||||||
| Many species of fish and
cartilage animals are going
extinct or becoming endangered because of their wasteful usage. Soulution: How do we stop it? When you kill a life form make sure that you have a need or use for every part. When you go fishing put back the fish, but only if it isn't dead or badly injured. Obtain required licenses. We need your help! |
