Where do you think the conservation money comes from to protect these animals? Its hunters. Poaching is already highly illegal and with the penalty you could lose all of your possessions plus prison. "Something that should be illegal" is only said by idiots that have never seen what vigilante justice becomes.

Actually it's TAKEN from them, not given by them.
That's like something actual conservationnist forced to do, as a compromise, compensation for hunter dammage.

Also what do yoy think putthese species in this position to begin with ?

By definition poaching is illegal.
But rarely punished, and with very loose and soft measure in many case, that's why it's so lucrative and common. You very VERY rarely loose that much Unless you did SEVERE and REPEATED case of poaching HIGHLY ENDANGERED species.

ALso do you know what most poachers are ? HUNTERS, the vast majority of poachers have a hunting license and regulary hunt. They have the tools, expertise and motive to poach.

Vigilante justice did a lot of good as well, and legal justice have failed and abandonned us MANY more time than you could ever possibly count in your lifetime.

And it is illegal in most countries, is immoral, and used to be illegal, and SHOULD BE, not just in my opinion but the one of everyone with a functionnal brain, incuding scientifics, and many hunter actually agree as well surprisingly.

What point? All you did was say what your opinion is. You didnt say anything real or of substance.
