Hunting is going out to find and kill animals. Animals, and some humans, hunt for food. Many places have rules that limit hunting. People have hunted at least since the stone age. They used spears, and now people mostly use guns and bows. Some people kill the animals for fur, to make clothes and shelter, or to decorate their homes, or to sell. Fox hunting is sometimes a sport.

Hunting can be good by keeping animal populations from getting too high. Hunting too much can kill off species of animals, making them extinct. Hunting once made the dodo, a bird, become extinct.
