One Poacher One Bullet. The policy should be simple: shoot now and ask questions later. The message should be clear if the trend is to be reversed. You get the death penalty for trafficking/selling drugs in a number of SE Asian and other countries. How is this a worse crime than shooting endangered species and trafficking their body parts (or trafficking them alive). There are 6 billion of us - perhaps some 'culling of the scum' is a good starting point.
Poaching is a product of 'the economics of poverty'; all human life is sacred - bollox! Greed and avarice are at its core and this liberal nonsense doesn't wash for species on the brink of extinction.
We need sanctioned direct action. One Poacher One Bullet.
