POACHING

Poaching is a deadly crime against wildlife. Wildlife officials say that legal hunters kill tens of million animals every year. For each of those animals, another is killed illegally, perhaps on closed land or out of season, leaving orphaned young to starke. Few poachers are caught or punished.

Poachers may also kill endagered species or use illegal weapons. Some poachers just love killing animals, or wannt a trophy.

For many, profit is the motive. Bear gall bladders get top dollar for Chinese herbal remedies and big horned sheepantlers can fetcle $20.000 on the black marcket
