I’m of the opinion that hunting for sport should be banned.

I have two reasons to support my opinion.

First, it is too dangerous for human. There are risks of accidentally injuring or even killing other people. In fact, people are not used to using weapons like guns in countries where citizens are not allowed to use and own them. Also, once people are permitted to do so, some may try to attack others in order to commit serious crimes such as murder, leading to worse public safety.

Second, it also has negative impact on the environment. If people are permitted to do hunting for fun, great number of animals will be recklessly killed, contributing to a loss of biodiversity and a collapse of ecosystem. This trend will endanger the living conditions of humankinds in the future because living organisms on the planet provide us with sources of necessity goods such as foods or medicine.

From these two reasons, I don’t believe that poaching animals for sports can be justified. (170 words)
