Document Summary
Food is essential for living a healthy lifestyle, but the food that we choose to eat can potentially be detrimental to our surroundings. Those who believe that eat endangered animals cause a conflict within society because they spread diseases, prevent medicines from being produced in bulk, and are harm ecosystems. The bushmeat trade organization is a main factor in producing this type of food, contributing to the negative factors occurring due to the mass production of endangered species as food. In addition, i believe laws should enforced more consequences upon those who take the liberty to illegally kill endangered species. Bushmeat trade, namely due to originating in africa"s forests and savannahs known as the bush , companies are known to hunt threatened and endangered animals for their meats (traffic). They impose a threat of extinction, over a wide global range, especially to primates such as the cross river gorilla in africa, the sumatran.
