Since the first hunting ground in the country was established in 1984 in Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, 10 more have been founded in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, and some other provinces mainly in the west part of the country. Although hunting may become more of a fun sport, it remains controversial worldwide as it leads to the slaughtering of millions of animals and birds.[Photo/CFP]
