Hurting Wildlife with a Catapult – Why It’s Not Okay

Using a catapult to shoot at animals might seem like a game, but it can seriously hurt or even kill them. Wild animals are living creatures that feel pain, just like pets do. Hurting them is not only cruel, but it can also get you into trouble with the law. In many places, it’s illegal to harm wildlife, and people can be fined or even taken to court.

Instead of hurting animals, we should protect them and learn about how they live. Being kind to nature shows respect and helps keep our environment safe and healthy for everyone.

Kind Regards
