Poaching Endangered Animals

As seen on television of the many poachers trying to kill Polar bears, for their skin, elephants for their tusks, and taking their young away from their parents, a disgusting act to be seen.  Syringes are stuck into these helpless animals and their babies are taken away from them with out an emotion.

These animals are discarded once their fur is taken, one of the other animal is the Rhino, also helpless and attacked for its horns. Often traps are specially built to trap these animals, and afterwards eaten by scavengers. This is an illegal way of hunting and killing animals for a price.  Hunting animals has been going on for centuries but now things have changed, and this is reduced in some places.

Trap nets, pit falls, use of bows and arrows are used to trap these animals. Poaching has various effects, but most of all is its extinction. It is also known that because of poaching there was a spread of disease from animal to human, like the Ebola virus was believed to have spread from monkey to human when it was fed to humans.

Traditional medicine in some countries use animals for this purpose and again poaching is the reason for this belief. This is an act that affecting the lives of most precious animals.
