In the Soviet Union, carnivores constitute a very important group practically. They include the most valuable fur-bearing animals, some of them represent objects of hunting sports, while certain species play a more or less considerable role as pests of livestock and hunting enterprises, carriers of some diseases, and destroyers and regulators of the numbers of harmful rodents. The hunting of almost all species is regulated (definite times of hunting, licensed trade); some are found under complete or partial protection, while certain species are completely exterminated from the country or from some parts of it.
