HOW DO POACHERS HUNT?
They usually hunt for animals in areas that are protected enviroments, and for
the endangered animals, becaused they will bring the larger prices, many times
dead or alive. They set leg traps near steams and watering holes. They dig out
pits dug into the ground and then covered over with branches and leaves on major
trails, usually going to and from watering holes. They also set up nets set to
spring with some form of food to entice the animal they are trapping to step
into the trap. They also use vehicles to herd and stampede the animals, cutting
some from the herd, and then killing them. Some want the animals alive and as
young as possible, so they may have to kill the mother to take the babies from
them. Where the age might not matter, they just want it alive, especially with
reptiles. Then with birds, if they are knowledgeable, they can just steal the
eggs and raise the chicks from hatchlings. I'm sure this is not all the ways
that poacher's hunt, they can be very clever and use means that I would never
imgaine using on an animal. They are constantly coming up with new ways to get
what they consider to be nothing more than a marketable item, showing no respect
for the laws protecting the animals or the animals themselves.
