yeah no if I can feed my starving family by killing some animal I would take that in a heartbeat. In contrast, if I can work in a factory and make enough to live decently I'm not going into the woods to try and kill something that can kill me back and risking getting into trouble with the law. Have fun in perfect actor land where you live though.

They can choose to hunt deer or I don't know monkey to feed their family or even steal food. All justified. Poaching is extremely lucrative. Its like saying I'm robbing my sixth bank because I'm poor. They are not eating the rhino. I'm not OK with gunning these people but it is a shit act even if you are poor

Like yeah it's a bad thing to do, but I can see why someone might do it once to try and set their family up. Yes they should be stopped and punished, but should we personally hold them in contempt? There's definitely better off people involved with it, fuck them, and fuck the shit heads who are making the market.
