Pros Of Poaching

Formal Writing Assessment
How would you feel with scopes all pointed in the direction of your head, the barrel of a gun ready to take it’s shot. You feel trapped. Scared. You can’t do anything but wait for that cold metal bullet to penetrate through your skin. This is an occurrence for hundreds of animals every day. Poaching and Hunting are a huge contribution to today’s species endangerment. Selfish human beings slaughtering innocent animals for their own good.
Poaching all around the world is causing animals of all different species to become endangered. People poach animals because their body parts can be sold illegally for huge amounts of money. Rhino horns being cut off because they are believed to be able to treat hangovers, impotence, fever and even cancer.
This illegal poaching of Black Rhinos has caused their population to go down 97.6%. Imagine if the human race population went down by 97.6% that would leave us to only around 176 million people compared to our 7.3 billion. These illegal poachers who take these animals lives need to be stopped. Another example of how much of a dramatic affect that poaching happens on the population of certain species is that now due to poaching only 900 mountain gorillas remain and also last year 35,000 African elephants were slaughtered for their horns. Their horns used for ladies jewellery. What is more important a ring on your partners finger or a life of an African elephant. Most of this is happening through organised crime syndicates that are using high-powered weaponry and technology to track these endangered animals and kill as many at once for as much money as possible.
