Why do people catch animals?
- Many animals are caught because they are popular pets.
- People also catch animals for their fur, skin, horns, and shells, and also because some animals are seen as pests.
- Some animals get lead poisoning after eating other animals that have been shot, while some animals are caught in traps meant for other animals.
