Question

which one of the following factors is not responsible for the extinction of wild animals a- hunters are penalized harshly b-poaching or hunting of wild animals c- trade of animals and other body part d- large scale deforestation

Answer 1

a . hunters are penalized harshly

Answer 2

The one which is not the factor in context to the given question is option a: hunters are penalized harshly.

• Wild animals that live in forests are particularly vulnerable to extinction in the future if environmental variables are unsuitable and if they are slaughtered and exploited for commercial gain.

1. People used to consider poaching and hunting wild animals a form of pride, which is one of the main reasons why their species is becoming extinct.
2. They are also killed for their hide and body parts, which are sold on the market and used in various products. Tigers, for example, are being slaughtered for their skin, which is contributing to their population decline.
3. Deforestation and forest fires also make the forest an undesirable habitat for wild animals.
4. Hunters are punished according to the law for killing animals in an immoral manner. It is a step toward preserving our fauna, not a cause of extinction.

• Hence, all are the factors for the extinction of animals except option a.
