I believe that the human population is on it’s way to reaching carrying capacity and we as a nation will continue to grow exponentially and we will exhaust our resources inevitably. There is no one who knows exactly when the human population will exceed all resources but scientists are able to predict what the limit is and what would happen.

In recent years, hunting has become an up and coming trend among Americans as a way to control the population of animals, but the practice of hunting is morally inhumane and is denying animals their rights to life.
