Afghanistan have listed that nearly 150 wild animals and birds are at risk as illegal hunting is starting to grow in this country. The country claimed that the animals have been illegal hunted by locals and by foreign nations in the middle east. Environmentalists have suggested that the problems might not be from the citizens but of politicians using illegal hunting to secure the backing of influential individuals from the gulf for the election campaigns in Afghanistan. In these recent years the country stated that they have lost some wild birds and animals species because of illegal hunting. Some Afghan officials said that illegal hunting has pushed animals like the black bear, cheetah, lynix, ibex, siberian and other rare species to a point where those animals are going to get extinct if this kind of behavior continues.
Well firstly i think that illegal hunting is an important subject now, as you can see in Africa the number of elephant have decreased as more people are hunting illegally, making profits out of doing these illegal things. Also this brings a lot of negative effects to the environments, if one species become extinct then its like a chain other animals are going to start dying as everything in nature is in a chain, where if one kind of animal got extinct, then all the others are going to follow soon. Back to the topic i think that the government in Afghanistan they should set up patrols or to set up strict laws saying that whoever is illegally hunting should be sentenced to life in prison, and that's the only way that this situation is going to stop.
