YouTube's popularity has increased as has the number and quality of hunting videos. Hunting is not regulated but people feel a strong sense that they are part of a particular sport. YouTube classified videos under People & Blogs as well as Sports & Entertainment. But, comments in the space often focussed upon the sport overall. However, YouTube has maintained its internal policy for users.
Taxa targeted by Brazilian sport hunters
Hunting mastofauna in Brazil's caatinga ecosystems is a common practice. Hunters are able to demonstrate folk taxonomy through identification and classification. This group of hunters uses ecological, morphological and behavioral criteria to identify and transmit information to other hunters. While hunted species may have different food sources or utility, they share knowledge about their behaviour, habitat and trophic relationships.
Brazilian wildlife is being affected by sport hunting
The lowland paca may not be considered endangered, but it is on the endangered species lists of nearly all Brazilian countries. Hunting in remote locations can negatively impact its population and species diversity. IUCN has also listed other endangered species as a result of sport hunting, including the white-lipped pccary and tapir. Although hunting reserves may be able to help these species survive, many animal rights organizations oppose it.
Brazil's sport hunting laws allow for it, but regulations prevent the widespread destruction of its native species. Sport hunting is only allowed for a select few species. It is also primarily done by Westerners. Brazilian environmental agencies often support sport hunting programs. Sport hunting is banned in some states like Rio Grande do Sul. Sport hunters can hunt big game as well, but they must also have a firearms permit.
YouTube's internal policy regarding the user community
YouTube is a large company but it's still a great place to view animal-related videos including hunting ones. There are thousands upon thousands of YouTube channels dedicated to hunting, with thousands of subscribers and substantial revenue. A warning letter was recently sent to several major hunting YouTube channels, warning them that they had violated YouTube's content guidelines. Google did NOT provide any information on the videos or contact information, but they did tell us that the policies would be enforced "in coming weeks."
In response, many creators have started making their videos available without the necessary permissions. This is a great way for you to promote your own content, even though it may not have permission. YouTube's guidelines are not very clear, but savvy creators know how to navigate them without violating them. To make sure your video doesn’t get deleted, you must obtain permission from either the owner or another party.
Public education and awareness campaigns about sport hunting in Brazil
While loosening Brazil's laws on sport hunting may sound like an obvious solution it is not. Brazil is currently in a severe economic crisis. There are few prospects for medium term growth. Meanwhile, federal and state budgets are likely to be frozen or cut, which would further reduce resources for monitoring and enforcement. In addition, many people are interested in the recreational satisfaction that sport hunting provides. To prevent sport hunting from harming wildlife and the environment, it is important to educate the public.
Brazilians still regard the practice of sport hunting as noble and associated with colonial times. Guns used in recreational hunting could be considered a symbol for power and immunity. People who have legal access to firearms might even be considered powerful. This perception is often inaccurate due to a flawed perception of the sport hunting's benefits and costs. Brazil could see an increase in land-ownership conflicts as a result of recreational hunting.
