A wild animal It is that animal that lives in total and absolute freedom in its habitat and that has not been the object of domestication by man and by so much so that he will not be able in any way to integrate him into his daily life since his behavior is eminently elementary, natural and unexpected. That is, a wild lion that has not been domesticated or trained for a reasonable time by man will not be able to live with a family in a house. It will not adapt of course and it will bring out its wild behavior, being able to seriously injure the man, if it feels threatened.
Obviously this response is a natural behavior and spontaneous that animals of this type have, that is, it is absolutely expected and that is why it is not mediate a domestication should never interact without precautions with an animal of these terms.
Another natural behavior of wild animals is that in their natural habitats they procure their own survival, and of course, they do it by feeding on other weaker pairs whom they stalk until they capture them.
When human beings appreciate this situation, for the most part, it causes us repulsion, fear and pity by the other animal that is eaten, however, it is a totally natural behavior and that responds to instinct of these animals.
It should be noted that this freedom enjoyed by wild animals can be affected and limited by the hunting activity, which captures animals that live in the wild, for recreational purposes, sporty.
Unfortunately, many practitioners of this activity do not respect the legislation current and commit serious attacks on the survival of certain species.
In favor of the freedom of wild animals we must say that all species of this type are essential within their habitats to maintain the Balance in them and therefore removing them from them will not only imply an imbalance in them but also with regard to the conforming development of that animal.
While there are many organizations who fight in favor of this sense, we are still very far from a conscience generalized of I respect of animal rights.
