Poaching


Poaching

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


An Endangered (EN) species is a species which has been categorized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List as likely to become extinct. "Endangered" is the second most severe conservation status for wild populations in the IUCN's schema after Critically Endangered (CR).

Linked below is the list of over 100 endangered species:

  1. I agree with what you're saying. People should not be able to hunt endangered species. It appears that people hunt for unnecessary reasons. I can see this angering many people.
