Life in wilderness has got nothing in common with the paradise we
imagine. Truth is the nature doesn't need a human to protect from
arising of certain populations. If specific species reproduce dramatically
and therefore overpopulate territories , it is possible that some
species extinct because of famine, diseases, birds of prey, fights
between the same species and canibalism. Consequently the whole
vegetation and the living beings there may be endangered, for instance
because of plague. This is one of the reasons why people intervene
in the nature. If people and animals share inhabitat , it must be
controlled. By the overpopulation of martens in Holland dams would
fall apart, beavers in Canada would cause floods on roads and fields,
opossums would destroy woods in New Zealand. Controlled hunting
can contribute to the right balance between the inhabitat and the
number of game. Exploitation of wild animals is strictly controlled
on a national as well as on an international level. Fur trade does
not trade in endangered species.
The majority of wild species used by the fur trade are not taken
specifically for their fur but for the sake of natural balance.
All this is necessary for maintenance of adequate number of species
and for healthy ecological system, population and diseases supervision,
and at the same time for the protection of public and private areas.
International fur trade does not trade in endangered species and
fulfills the regulations of CITIES.
