Zoologists have found that Swift Foxes are threatened by hunting, trapping, poisoning, and expansion of agriculture into their native praire grassland habitat, causing their whole species to become classified as "endangered". So who are the cause of the decrease in the population of the Swift Foxes?
...
Us! Humans are the main cause of the decreasing rate of Swift Foxes! We destroy their habitat to provide land to grow our food to feed the growing human population and hunt, trap, and poison Swift Foxes to get their fur. Did you know that we also hunt/trap/poison Swift Foxes for fun and as a sport?
Swift Foxes have disappeared from Canadian prairies in 1938 as a result from the factors listed above. Today, only a small population of Swift Foxes remain in the Canadian prairies. Their survival mainly depends on the protection of their habitat, which we, humans, could provide for them.
