    Very food article @Reedfish .

    Sad part is that as long as there are hungry people there will be poaching, either for own consumption or for trade.

    Yes but poverty drives poaching. Even if they don’t poach for own consumption but to supply the whims of others thousands of miles away...

    The system is powered by poverty, greed and superstition. And a general disregard for species other than homo sapiens.
