10 gazelles found dead in Oman

I was reading in todays newspaper and felt sad over the killing of gazelles in Oman.

 Environmentalists in Muscat(Oman ), with the help of the Royal Oman Police, arrested six hunters from the Saih Alala area in Jalan Bani Bu Ali for killing at least ten Arabian gazelles.

The carcasses of 10 Arabian gazelles, allegedly hunted down by the six Omanis, were found when the accused were arrested from Jalan Bani Bu Ali, about 250km east of Muscat .

Conservationists believe that poachers hunt Arabia gazelle, also known as mountain gazelle, to smuggle them — dead or alive — out of Oman.  The mountain gazelle population in the Arabian Oryx Sanctuary in the central Oman and the coastal areas to the eastern region is believed to be the largest in the country.

Why do people want to violate the laws on wildlife and nature reserves. We all should try to preserve environment and natural resources to develop and sustain these resources.

Lets all understand and spread the message that it is illegal (in most countries) to hunt or smuggle animals and it is morally unethical to kill these innocent animals . We should protect global flora and fauna.
