Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of these answers are correct. Large predators have been subject to excessive hunting and poisoning, leading to sharp declines in their populations. This has resulted in an inability to keep prey species in check, which can have cascading effects on the ecosystem. Furthermore, illegal killing of large predators still occurs in many parts of the world.
