Summary:	From being a necessity for survival, today hunting has become a leisure time activity and an industry. The technique of hunting is taught at courses and shooting ranges. Necessary equipment represents substantial values. Meat processing is a growing business with a local connection. So is hunting tourism. Traffic accidents with wild animals involved cause pain and suffering to individuals and high costs to society. Effective after-seek for wounded animals require trained dogs and experienced trackers. We favor preservation of biodiversity. We care about the conditions under which our wild animals live.
