Wow I hate the author of the article. It's trying too hard to forgive the poachers. It's true that they are poor people living a difficult lives, not the kingpins etc... They're still the ones deciding to kill a noble and innocent animal that need to be protected to save the future of their whole specie for uncertain personal gains. I have little to no empathy for them. How people people lile that there is ? How many rhinos are left ? How many will be left if everyone like him do the same ?

Revenge killing a hyena and entering a national park to hunt protected specimens is put on the same level here.

0 empathy for animals overall, max empathy for poachers. Fuck the author

Actually it’s a common myth. Animal parts is big business. These people aren’t always poor or struggling. But rather just like drug dealers trying to make it rich on living beings

That's how I see it too. They'd be slavers if they could

Yes they are degenerates. There’s other outcomes when faced even with abject suffering than to cause more suffering. People do the more difficult thing all the time. There’s no excuse for murdering endangered animals. Literally fuck them Id rather them starve. But they don’t, they get paid well.
