Should we still hunt for food?

Of course not, you will think, but we like it when someone else does that for us. Meat obtained from wild animals is considered to have high nutritional value. It has low-fat content, excellent fatty acid composition, and desirable amino acid configuration.

Nutritional Benefits:

• Lean Protein: essential for muscle growth, repair, and overall health. Protein-rich diets can help promote satiety, regulate blood sugar levels, and support weight management.
• Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Some wild game, such as certain types of fish (e.g., salmon, trout), are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for heart health, brain function, and reducing body inflammation.
• Iron: a mineral necessary for hemoglobin production, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Iron is vital for preventing anemia and maintaining energy levels.
• Vitamin B12: Wild game meat is a good source of vitamin B12, an essential nutrient for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis.
• Zinc: Zinc is another mineral found in wild game meat that plays a critical role in immune function, wound healing, and protein synthesis. It also supports growth and development.

Also, meat obtained from wild animals is an expensive, exotic, and attractive protein source.

Still, should we question its safety and health effects???

Sustainability Considerations:

Overhunting and habitat destruction can threaten wildlife populations and disrupt ecosystems.
