    Shoot them on sight and the wildlife will clean up.

    This is a difficult one. It's the guys at the top that need to be caught. A lot of the time they use the poorest to carry out poaching because they have no money to feed their families and therefore poaching is a way of getting quick income. I am not saying it is right by any means, but the issue lies with the greedy fat cats.

    The poachers aren't the real problem. The demand is . Like anything. Needs European, American and asian countries to tighten up the trade . Can't blame a povished African family for surviving

    I'm afraid this will even increase the price and the request for ivory and horns. I can imagine rich people yapping "Ten people died for this rhino horn medicine! It will surely fix my erectile dysfunction, unlike western therapies!"

    I agree with these laws that they are pushing for and what they have done so for. Enough is enough and at this point it must stop too much animals have gone extinct or close to extinction because human being want them on walls or for consumption.

    Not only poachers should be executed. Shoot everyone who sells ivory, even small pieces, or carves something out of it. Everyone involved in illegal animal trade.
