These high prices that people are willing to pay are a great incentive for poachers. The extinction of the complete species is one of the most serious effects of poaching, as it not only destroys the seed but also adversely affects the living environment and living things. When a predator species is caught until extinct, it can cause a massive damage chain. Predators approach the top of the food chain and control the number of prey.
Early exploration seduced poachers to consume this species with the excuse that scientists would kill animals. Mountain gorillas made with pure forces, majestic primates, humanized creatures are the perceptions of poachers against them. They are considered trophies. In the first 20 years of discovery, European and American scientists and trophy hunters killed over 50 mountain gorillas. Poaching them as food today is very rare, but poaching is not so. Infants continue to endanger the survival of mountain gorillas. From the 1960's to the 1970's, gorillas were poached and sold as trophies and living specimens to foreigners, but no one survived by captivity. Gorilla's death is now caused mainly by non-selective hunting of traps to capture antelope or wild boar. The real threat is to kill the gorilla or to catch the baby for the trading of living animals. Recent events occurred in 2002, 2004 and 2007
There are three types of poaching which happen for various reasons and affect various animals. Survival poaching means that people hunted for survival and ate animals they killed. The surviving poachers often kill small animals such as birds, insects, and small antelopes. Commercial poaching is when someone steals money. They do not kill people for survival, they kill people for greed. Demand is boosting commercial poachers. They explore whether animals are in danger of extinction. Finally there is a trophy poaching. The focus of trophy poaching is to kill an endangered animal with a lot of money. These animals include black rhinos, zebras, cheetahs and so on.
Poaching is a serious problem, especially in Africa and Asia. This crime is committed for commercial interests. In other words, Hunter illegally kills animals and sells skin and parts. Poachers usually kill tigers, elephants, and rhinos, but they are also orcases and whales. This illegal hunting has resulted in a decrease in the number of many species. Poachers usually kill animals only for one product: tigers are slaughtered as their striped fur and elephants are killed as ivory and ivory with their big corners. The animal's body is rotten. The shark was invited by the boat and grasped the hook pulling the board. Their dorsal fin is cut, their bodies are thrown back into the sea. Without fins, they can not swim and die. The illegally obtained fins are used to make shark's fin soup which is a delicious dish in Asia.
