Hunting is considered a sport in many countries around the world. As a result millions of animals die every year. The most common practice is ‘small game hunting’, in which the victims tend to be partridges, turtle-doves, rabbits, and aquatic and migratory birds. There is also ‘big game hunting’, in which the victims include wild boar, deer and rams. Hunters use guns to kill certain individuals, and lead pellets to kill, injure and mutilate others. Cruel and barbaric bloodsports have no place in modern day society.
